If a large number of objects are stored in your bucket, you can search for objects
by specifying a prefix.
Usage notes
- Search rule
You can search for objects by prefix. The string used to search for objects is case-sensitive
and cannot contain forward slashes (/).
- Search results
When you specify a prefix to search for objects in the root folder or a specified
folder of a bucket, only the objects or subfolders whose names contain the specified
prefix are returned. For more information, see List objects.
