Dataverse search

Dataverse search (formerly Relevance Search) is the modern global search experience in Dynamics 365 and Power Apps. Built on Azure Cognitive Search under the hood, it indexes content asynchronously and serves queries through a dedicated search service. Characteristics: fast (milliseconds even on millions of records), global (across all configured tables), relevance-ranked, fuzzy matching (handles typos, partial matches, word stems), faceted filtering. Configured per environment — admins enable specific tables and columns for indexing. Distinct from Quick Find, which searches the live database per-table without relevance ranking. Dataverse search is the right tool for global discovery; Quick Find for per-view live-current filtering. Both must be configured deliberately for users to find them useful.
