I have a basic query on Azure Cognitive search -I have confusion that, will it comes under PaaS or SaaS service? With my understanding I feel it should be PaaS, since it requires configuration and deployment involved. Please correct me if I am wrong.

As a Customer of Azure cognitive search, I had to code all back-end services that can handle creating of data sources, indexers and indexes and also the same for calling the rest API to get the data, so even if it is possible to do it via the portal azure interface we still need to code to get some advanced features not yet presents in the interface. So I believe it is a PAAS cloud type.

Azure Cognitive Search is a PaaS service. While there is a portal experience to help configure and evaluate the service, you need to write your own application to call the service in order to use its functionality.

Azure Cognitive Search is a search-as-a-service.
Search as a service uses a software as a service (SaaS) model.
