According to the link, for Azure search to work, the data needs to be uploaded to the search service. If i have a No-SQL database in Azure as DocumentDB, can the search service be configured to access the data directly from database, rather than uploading the data to the service?

I can not comment below the current thread, so I will add a new reply.
I am a Program Manager with Azure Search and I can confirm Daron's comments about this being a top request. There is also a fair amount of voting for it from our UserVoice page (http://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search/suggestions/6328680-auto-indexing-of-docdb). As a result, we have been investigating tighter integration of these technologies.

DocumentDB has POST triggers. You might be able to use it for an integration.
From my understanding a built-in integration is one of the top requests in the Azure Search and DocDB community. We had a lot of discussions around this with DocDB / Azure Search insiders and I remember a lot of people asking for it.
