I am new to using the search functionality on Azure and I am struggling a lot to make my chunks filterable. This is my situation:
I have a blob with hundreds of pdfs in different folders. Each blob has a list of metadata columns and values stored in them. To be able to search them semantically, I have applied a vector search out of the box using the Azure portal and clicking the “Import and vectorize”-button. This sets up the skillset for chunking, the indexer, and creates an index. From this, I can search my data, and filter it just fine. The issue is that the metadata from the parent document is not stored in each chunk, so I cannot filter the chunks when running a vector search.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to map the parent metadata to each chunk! Can anyone help me with this? And is there a better way of doing it? Such as filtering directly on the parent documents? I am looking for the absolute easiest implementation here.

Thanks in advance.
