# Quickstart: Create a search index in the Azure portal

In this Azure Cognitive Search quickstart, you create your first _search index_ by using the [**Import data** wizard](search-import-data-portal.md) and a built-in sample data source consisting of fictitious hotel data. The wizard guides you through the creation of a search index (hotels-sample-index) to help you write interesting queries within minutes.

Search queries iterate over an index that contains searchable data, metadata, and other constructs that optimize certain search behaviors. An indexer is a source-specific crawler that can read metadata and content from supported Azure data sources. Normally, indexers are created programmatically. In the Azure portal, you can create them through the **Import data** wizard. For more information, see [Indexes in Azure Cognitive Search](search-what-is-an-index.md) and [Indexers in Azure Cognitive Search](search-indexer-overview.md) .
