+# OpenTelemetry Azure AI Search Instrumentation
+
+This package provides OpenTelemetry instrumentation for [Azure AI Search](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-what-is-azure-search) (formerly Azure Cognitive Search).
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-azure-search
+```
+
+Or with the Azure Search SDK included:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'opentelemetry-instrumentation-azure-search[instruments]'
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Auto-instrumentation via Traceloop SDK
+
+```python
+from traceloop.sdk import Traceloop
+
+Traceloop.init(app_name="my_app")
+```
+
+### Manual instrumentation
+
+```python
+from opentelemetry.instrumentation.azure_search import AzureSearchInstrumentor
+
+AzureSearchInstrumentor().instrument()
+```
+
+## Instrumented methods
+
+| Method | Span name |
+|---|---|
+| `SearchClient.search()` | `azure_search.search` |
+| `SearchClient.upload_documents()` | `azure_search.upload_documents` |
+| `SearchClient.merge_documents()` | `azure_search.merge_documents` |
+| `SearchClient.merge_or_upload_documents()` | `azure_search.merge_or_upload_documents` |
+| `SearchClient.delete_documents()` | `azure_search.delete_documents` |
+
+## Span attributes
+
+| Attribute | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `db.system` | Always `azure_search` |
+| `server.address` | Azure Search endpoint URL |
+| `azure_search.index_name` | Name of the index being queried |
+| `azure_search.search_text` | The search query string |
+| `azure_search.top` | Max results requested |
+| `azure_search.filter` | OData filter expression |
+| `azure_search.duration` | Operation duration in seconds |
+| `azure_search.affected_documents` | Number of documents in write operations |
+| `azure_search.succeeded_documents` | Number of successfully written documents |
