The existing application is running in elasticsearch. The functionality of the application covers.

- MLT search
- synonym search
- stopwords
- multilingual search
- Filtered search

Kibana dashboard to show the metrics using aggregations.

Is it possible to achieve all these functionality in azure-search ?

FWIW Azure search does not expose elasticsearch APIs but azure search APIs.

Which means that you can’t use kibana with it IMO.

You'd need to check the product page for that, we don't control their functionality sorry.
