Search provides the facility to find
objects
on the basis of keyword. This is an advance search option provided on object Table. So by providing only few key words (prefix or delimiter or both) we can search for particular object in long object listing. These key words make your search more specific and accurate.
You can view search objects list in
Full Path View
as well as in
Folder View
by clicking on show full path button on object tool bar. You can view your searched information below object tool bar in this format "
Searched for prefix:
photos/2006/
Delimiter:
/
Item Found:
3
". Search session continues till you
refresh object list
or bucket list.

Prefix-
The prefix can be anything from a partial string or single character, up to the entire name of an object. Only objects with keys that start with the prefix will be listed. If object keys are divided into logical "directories" in your S3 account using forward-slashes (/), or indeed any character, only the contents of a "directory" can be displayed by using the directory name and the slash (e.g. "Documents/").
Delimiter-
Only objects with keys that match the prefix (if it is set) and that end with the delimiter will be displayed. The delimiter is most useful when your object keys are divided into logical "directories" separated by a character, such as a forward-slash (/). In this case, specifying "/" as the delimiter will limit the object listing to only top-level items or directories.
Example:
If you have a bucket that contained the following keys
photos/2006/index.html
Photos/2006/ img1001.jpg
photos/2006/January/img0001.jpg
...
photos/2006/January/img0999.jpg
photos/2006/February/img1000.jpg
photos/2006/March/img0001.html
...
Results:
-
A list query with
Prefix="photos/2006/"
and
Delimiter="/"
would return the keys and "subdirectories" at the photos/2006 level which are started with ="photos/2006/” and ended with “/” (as January, February,… are folders) but would not include any of the .jpg keys at deeper levels.
-
A list query with
Prefix="photos/2006/"
and
Delimiter=".html"
would return the keys and "subdirectories" at the photos/2006 level which are started with “photos/2006/” and ended with “.html” (index.html & March, April…..are subdirectories containing .html file(s)).
-
A list query with
Prefix="photos/2006/"
and
Delimiter=".jpg"
would return the keys and "subdirectories" at the photos/2006 level which are started with “photos/2006/” and ended with “.jpg” (img1001.jpg, January, February….are subdirectories contains .jpg file(s)).
