Azure blob document - Full text search

I am using Azure for hosting my project and chosen blob to store all by files (as they are in megabyte and count is huge). I have a requirement to search within all my files in blob (kind of like full text search). I tried integrating it with Azure search but no luck as the indexes are made on sql only. Is there a way to integrate the full text search in blob?

If not, what would be effective way of storing the documents in azure and still making them searchable (full text search) just like what sharepoint provides.

You can try azure search which now supports cognitive search[Preview] where it does image recognition using OCR. It does a great job with pdf and all type of documents.

It works good even with scanned document.

There is an online demo from microsoft on azure search which does a great job. https://jfk-demo.azurewebsites.net/

I work on Azure Search. We just shipped preview support for indexing documents stored in Azure blob storage, with support for PDF, Office docs, HTML and a few other formats. Please see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/search-howto-indexing-azure-blob-storage/ for more details.

Thanks, Eugene
