Description

We have a lot of Storage Accounts and it is fastest to use search to find the account in question so I can get to it's File Shares. It finds the Storage Account just fine but I would like to see the the result be able to expand and see the items under it (Blob Containers, Files Shares, Queues, Tables) just like you can when you browse the Storage Account manually. I know that I can right-click on the result and search from there but it's an unneeded step IMHO.

Is that possible by some setting I missed, or can that usability function be added?

Thank You!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the search for a Storage Account and compare its result with manually browsing that account. Check how the result currently exposes Blob Containers, File Shares, Queues, and Tables, and verify whether expansion can match the manual browsing experience. Done means the search result can be expanded to show those child resources without the extra right-click search step.
