Search provides the facility to find objects on the basis of search keyword. An advance search option provided by Bucket Explorer to search Google Storage objects, make your search more specific and accurate. By providing only few key words (prefix or delimiter or both) you can search for particular object in long object listing.
You can view searched objects list in
Full Path View
or in

Prefix-
Any strating sequences of the character for searching file is called Prefix text. You can give prefix as single char to full file name. Search will result only files which are start with given prefix. If object keys are divided into logical "directories" in your google storage 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. "MyDocument/").
Delimiter-
Any ending sequeces of the character for searching file is called Delimiter. You can give delimiter as single char to full file name. Search will result only file which are end with given delimiter. 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
images/2011/index.xml
images/2006/img1001.png
images/2011/001/img0001.png
...
images/2011/001/img0999.png
images/2011/002/img1000.jpg
images/2011/003/img0001.html
...
Results:
-
A list query with Prefix="images/2011/" and Delimiter=".png" would return the keys and "subdirectories" at the images/2011 level which are started with “images/2011/” and ended with “.png” (img1001.png, 001, 002….are subdirectories contains .png file(s)).
-
A list query with Prefix="images/2011/" and Delimiter="/" would return the keys and "subdirectories" at the images/2011 level which are started with ="images/2011/” and ended with “/” (as 001, … are folders) but would not include any of the .png keys at deeper levels.
-
A list query with Prefix="images/2011/" and Delimiter=".xml" would return the keys and "subdirectories" at the images/2011 level which are started with “images/2011/” and ended with “.xml” (index.xml & , 005…..are subdirectories containing .xml file(s)).
Note
: As we search some objects,this will list searched object at object table and a button "Switch to object list" appears on the object tool bar.Clicking on this button switches you to google storage object list from searched object list.
