This is an update regarding the previous Message Center Post about Dataverse search from April 8th, 2025, which stated that the change would lead to an increase in Dataverse storage capacity consumption for database and file storage on May 12th, 2025.
This roll out was paused on April 10, 2025.
What is Dataverse search?
Dataverse search currently supports global searches for all model-driven apps using the "RelevanceSearch" index in the Power Platform Admin Center. Going forward, it will include both relevance and semantic indexes, reported as "DataverseSearch", improving the quality and knowledge experience for agents in Copilot Studio and other Power Platform features.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine Dataverse as a vast library where all your company's data is stored. In this library, finding the right book or piece of information quickly is crucial. Previously, Dataverse used a search system similar to a basic library catalog, which allowed you to find books based on titles or authors. This was known as "RelevanceSearch."
Now, the search system is being upgraded to something akin to a librarian who not only knows where every book is but also understands the content of each book and can suggest the most relevant information based on your needs. This enhanced search capability is called "DataverseSearch," and it uses advanced AI to improve the quality of search results, making it easier for users to find the information they need.
This upgrade will automatically be applied to all environments using Dataverse, ensuring that users can benefit from these improved search capabilities without any additional setup. However, like adding more books to a library, this enhancement will increase the amount of storage space required. The storage used by this new search system will be reported in the same way as before, but under the new name, "DataverseSearch."
This change is particularly beneficial for those using AI-powered tools like Microsoft Copilot, which rely on accessing and processing data efficiently. By enabling DataverseSearch, users can take full advantage of these tools, leading to a more seamless and informed experience when interacting with data.
No immediate action is required from users, but it's good to be aware of these changes and the potential increase in storage usage. This upgrade aims to enhance productivity by making data searches more intuitive and effective, much like having a knowledgeable librarian at your disposal in a vast library.
