Finally, all service tiers have [index limits](search-limits-quotas-capacity.md#index-limits) on the number of objects that you can create. For example, if you are experimenting on the Free tier, you can only have 3 indexes at any given time. Within the index itself, there are limits on the number of complex fields and collections.
