Find Feature Store objects¶
After you create entities and feature views, you can use the Feature Store User Interface in Snowsight to find the objects you need. Use the search bar to search for Feature Store objects, such as the following:
Feature views
Feature column names
Description names
Entity names
When you search for an object, Snowflake does a universal search across all feature store object names and metadata. Snowflake searches through all of the metadata to return the best possible result.
For example, you might have a feature view called rider_features, that has this comment: “demographic features for all users who are signed up as passengers of ride share services”. If your search query is “passenger features”, the search results will return the rider_features view even though the search query didn’t include “rider”.
For more information about the universal search, see Search Snowflake objects and resources.
