Search Tool Characteristics¶

The S3 Search tool is a Scality API extension to the AWS API. S3 Search complies with AWS S3 search syntax, with certain noteworthy differences. S3 Search is MongoDB-native, and addresses the S3 search through queries encapsulated in a SQL WHERE predicate. It uses Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) search syntax.

Searchable Metadata and Tags¶

Because ARTESCA Data Services supports two classes of custom tags, it is not possible to list all the ways to search data in ARTESCA Data Services. At a mimimum, however, files will have the following fields inscribed, and these will be searchable:

cache-control
content-disposition
content-encoding
dataStoreName
expires
content-length
content-type
content-md5
isDeleteMarker
isNull
location
nullVersionId
owner-display-name
owner-id
replication-status
versionId

Default Amazon S3 metatags:

x-amz-version-id
x-amz-server-version-id
x-amz-server-side-encryption
x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id
x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm
x-amz-website-redirect-location

Custom Metadata and Tags¶

You can also search the following tags as you have defined them:

key
tags: { }
x-amz-meta
