Is azure search cost depend on number hits?

Question

I want to understand, how the azure search cost getting calculated. I am referring this link and as per my understanding the cost is getting calculated based on storage capacity, no. of indexes and partition.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/search/

Just need confirmation- is there any additional cost will be added based on number of hits. Suppose my azure search APIs (search, suggest, and autocomplete) will be 20000 times per day, is cost will increase. Currently I want to go with basic or standard tier.

Please suggest.

Answer 1

Azure Search pricing is based solely on the number of search units in your service and the pricing tier. It is not based on the level of usage of your search service, because that service is dedicated for your use.

per my understanding the cost is getting calculated based on storage capacity

Note that search units are units of compute and storage resources, not just storage.
