Custom index configuration cannot work for Sitecore 9.0.1 in Azure

Question

I got a trouble about custom index with Sitecore 9.0.1 in Azure. My custom index configuration can rebuild successfully and this index can create in Azure search with Sitecore 9.0.

After I changed to use Sitecore 9.0.1 this configuration didn't work anymore. The index builds successfully but it cannot be created in Azure. I didn't get any exception in UI or log. The Sitecore default index can build and create successfully without trouble. I'm very appreciate your help about it.

Below is my custom index configuration

<sitecore role:require="Standalone or ContentManagement or ContentDelivery" search:require="Azure">
<contentSearch>
  <configuration type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch">

I fixed this issue. You should use

<generalRedirectsSearchConfiguration ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultCloudIndexConfiguration">

instead of using

<generalRedirectsSearchConfiguration type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.Azure.CloudIndexConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.Azure">
