Azure AI Search Client Library for Python (Preview)

The `azure-search` library (version 1.0.0b2, currently in preview) provides a client for interacting with Azure AI Search (formerly Azure Cognitive Search). It's designed for newer API versions and capabilities, distinct from the stable `azure-search-documents` library. As a preview package, it is in active development with rapid changes and is not recommended for production use. Microsoft generally releases updates to its Python SDK packages on a monthly cadence.
