## Re-ranking

Azure Cognitive Search offers the option to enable a second (L2) ranking step after retrieval to further improve results quality. This only applies when using text or hybrid search. Since it has latency and cost implications, if you want to try this option you need to explicitly [enable "semantic search"](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/search/semantic-search-overview#enable-semantic-search) in your Cognitive Search service, and [create a semantic search configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/search/semantic-how-to-query-request#2---create-a-semantic-configuration) for your index.
