# Identifying which Regions display full versus partial resource results
Full vs partial results by Region

AWS Resource Explorer provides different levels of search results depending on your permissions and the type of index in each Region. All Regions have Resource Explorer-owned indexes that provide partial results (all tagged resources and supported untagged resources created after the [immediate resource discovery](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-immediate-resource-discovery-experience.html) release. Accessing partial results requires that you have, at minimum, the permissions in the `[AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess.html)` managed policy). Regions with user-owned indexes provide complete search results. You can identify which type of results you'll receive in each Region by checking the index types using the procedures on this page.

The search results you receive depend on both your permissions and the index type:
+ **Full results:** Available in Regions with user-owned indexes when you have, at minimum, the permissions in the `[AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess.html)` managed policy (and the service-linked role exists in the account)
+ **Partial results:** Available in all Regions through Resource Explorer-owned indexes when you have, at minimum, the permissions in the `[AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess.html)` managed policy, or in Regions where user-owned indexes have been deleted

**Important**  
Users can search for resources in all Regions, but the completeness of results varies by index type. Regions with user-owned indexes provide complete search results and replicate to the aggregator index for cross-Region search (when enabled). Regions with only Resource Explorer-owned indexes provide partial results (all tagged resources and supported untagged resources created after the [immediate resource discovery](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-immediate-resource-discovery-experience.html) release) but are not included in cross-Region search replication.

## Checking index types and result completeness in Regions


You can check which Regions have user-owned indexes (providing full results) versus Resource Explorer-owned indexes (providing partial results) by using the AWS Management Console, by using commands in the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or by using API operations in an AWS SDK. All Regions have Resource Explorer-owned indexes by default, while user-owned indexes are created when users with appropriate permissions complete setup in a Region.

------
#### [ AWS Management Console ]

**To check index types and result completeness by Region**

1. Open the **[Settings](https://console.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/home#/settings)** page in the Resource Explorer console.

1. The list in the **Indexes** section shows user-owned indexes that provide complete search results. The value in the **Type** column indicates whether the index is a **Local** index for its Region, or the **Aggregator** index for the AWS account. Regions not listed have only Resource Explorer-owned indexes, which provide partial results.

1. To see which Regions have only Resource Explorer-owned indexes (partial results), choose **Create indexes**. Available Regions in this list have only Resource Explorer-owned indexes and will provide partial search results until you create user-owned indexes for full results.

#### [ AWS CLI ]

**To check index types and result completeness by Region**  
Run the following command to see which AWS Regions have user-owned indexes (providing complete results). Regions not listed have only Resource Explorer-owned indexes (providing partial results).

```
$ aws resource-explorer-2 list-indexes
{
    "Indexes": [
        { 
            "Arn": "arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-east-1:123456789012:index/1a2b3c4d-5d6e-7f8a-9b0c-abcd11111111",
            "Region": "us-east-1",
            "Type": "AGGREGATOR"
        },
        {
            "Arn": "arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-west-2:123456789012:index/1a2b3c4d-5d6e-7f8a-9b0c-abcd22222222",
            "Region":"us-west-2",
            "Type":"LOCAL"
        }
    ]
}
```
