How do I use the Lucene Query Syntax in Azure?

Asked 3 years ago

I am looking into using Lucene Query Syntax for querying indexes. I'll mostly be using it for proximity searches and phrases found in the title field. I am worried that I won't be able to use it in Azure where I work. Can someone please help me understand how to use Lucene Query Syntax in Azure?
