**Example 1: To search using the default view**

The following ``search`` example displays all resources in the specified Region that are associated with the IAM service. The search uses the default view for the Region. The example response includes a ``NextToken`` value, which indicates that there is more output available to retrieve with additional calls. ::

    aws resource-explorer-2 search \
        --query-string "service:iam"

Output::

    {
        "Count": {
            "Complete": true,
            "TotalResources": 55
        },
        "NextToken": "AG9VOEF1KLEXAMPLEOhJHVwo5chEXAMPLER5XiEpNrgsEXAMPLE...b0CmOFOryHEXAMPLE",
        "Resources": [{
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/service-role/Some-Policy-For-A-Service-Role",
            "LastReportedAt": "2022-07-21T12:34:42Z",
            "OwningAccountId": "123456789012",
            "Properties": [],

            "ResourceType": "iam:policy",
            "Service": "iam"
        }, {
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:policy/service-role/Another-Policy-For-A-Service-Role",
            "LastReportedAt": "2022-07-21T12:34:42Z",

            "ResourceType": "iam:policy",
            "Service": "iam"
        }, {
           ... TRUNCATED FOR BREVITY ...
        }],
        "ViewArn": "arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-east-1:123456789012:view/my-default-view/EXAMPLE8-90ab-cdef-fedc-EXAMPLE11111"
    }

**Example 2: To search using a specified view**

The following ``search`` example search displays all resources ("*") in the specified AWS Region that are visible through the specified view. The results include only resources associated with Amazon EC2 because of the filters attached to the view. ::

    aws resource-explorer-2 search \
        --query-string "*" \
        --view-arn arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-east-1:123456789012:view/My-EC2-view/EXAMPLE8-90ab-cdef-fedc-EXAMPLE22222
