Bing custom search retired, and missing docs on how to recreate it

[S3j5b0]

Hi,

I have a website with some searching that was provided by a azure service of the type "Azure AI service". The search basically worked by calling an endpoint on the service that looked like this:

All of the sudden, the search started returning 404, with no apparent info on why, or if the health of the service is bad.

I find other people asking similar questions on this forum, where there is linked this https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/updates/bing-search-apis-will-transition-from-azure-cognitive-services-to-azure-marketplace-on-31-october-2023/

And this is the documentation that I am giving feedback on. Because it has no info on how to actually set up the search, or recover the settings I used to have

This it is unclear to me how I should set up my new service in accordance with the old one. That it points to the same site, searches up the same kinds of results etc.

For instance, I can find virtually no info on how I set up this new service to point at the same site. Currently I'm considering moving to google search, since the path forward seems so unclear to me
