If a large number of objects are stored in a bucket, you can search for objects by
specifying a prefix.
Limits
- Search rules
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 directory or a specified
directory of a bucket, only the objects or subdirectories whose names contain the
specified prefix are returned.
Procedure
- Log on to the OSS console.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Buckets. On the Buckets page, click the name of the desired bucket.
- In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
- Search for objects.
- Search for specific objects or directories in the root directory of the bucket
In the upper-right corner, enter the prefix to search in the search box and press
Enter or click the
icon to search for the objects. Objects and directories whose names contain the specified
prefix within the root directory are displayed.
The following example shows the search result when you specify Example as the prefix
