A. B. C. D.

Correct Answer: B.

Option A is incorrect.

A select parameter is used when you need to include additional fields for differentiation.

Hence it is not the correct parameter of choice here.

Option B is correct.

Here is the completed code snippet.

Parameter top is used for control search results to 5 cities.

<pre>POST /indexes/city/docs/suggest?api-version=2020-06-30

{

"search": "new",

"top": 5,

"suggesterName": "suggester1"

}

The most appropriate query parameter to limit the search to 5 cities in the given code snippet is "top."

The "top" parameter in Azure Cognitive Search is used to specify the maximum number of search results to be returned in a single page. In this case, the query parameter "top" will limit the search to only 5 cities.

The complete code snippet to enable suggester with the "top" query parameter would be as follows:

bash
POST /indexes/city/docs/suggest?api-version=2020-06-30 { "search": "new", "top": 5, "suggesterName": "suggester1" }

In the above code snippet, "search" is the query text that the user types in the search box, and "suggesterName" is the name of the suggester. The "top" parameter is set to 5 to limit the search results to 5 cities.

The "select" parameter is used to select specific fields to return from the search results, and the "filter" parameter is used to filter the search results based on a specific condition. The "fuzzy" parameter is used to enable fuzzy matching in the search results.

In summary, the "top" parameter is used to limit the search results to a specific number, and in this case, it is used to limit the search to 5 cities.
