Hi everyone,
I deployed a FHIR server container in Azure with the following configuration. Everything seems to work fine — resources are stored properly, and searches by specific fields (like code, given, etc.) return expected results.
However, full-text search using the _content parameter does not work on the Azure instance. The same container and dataset work locally with _content queries as expected.
Has anyone faced this issue?
Any idea what might be missing or misconfigured in the Azure setup?

Hi, thanks for the reply!
To clarify what I mean by "_content search does not work" — here are the exact requests and responses:
✅ When I do a search using a structured parameter:
I get 3 matching records (as expected), including Patient.name.family = Rivera.
🟨 When I do a basic search:
I get 15 records total, including patients named Rivera, Johnson, Jackson, etc.
❌ However, when I try full-text search:
I get an empty result set, even though there are clearly matching resources (e.g. name.family = Rivera, email contains “rivera”).
🔍 The strange part is that when I run the same container locally, _content=Rivera works as expected and returns results.
So the problem seems specific to the Azure container deployment — possibly some missing configuration, volume, or indexing issue.
Let me know if I can provide logs, container settings, or anything else that might help diagnose this.
Thanks again!
