# Searching for a File or Folder

This section describes how to search for a file or folder by name prefix on OBS Browser.

#### Procedure

1. Log in to OBS Browser.
2. Click the bucket where the target file or folder resides.
3. In the search box above the object list, enter the name prefix of the file or folder that you want to search for.

   In the root directory of the bucket, files and folders whose name starts with the specified prefix are displayed.

   If you want to search for objects within a folder, you can use either of the following methods:

   - In the search box of the root directory, enter folder path/object name prefix. For example, if you enter abc/123/example, all files and folders whose name is prefixed with example in the abc/123 folder are displayed.
   - Alternatively, you can open the specific folder, and enter the object name prefix in the search box of that folder. For example, you can open the abc/123 folder and enter example in the search box. Then all files and folders whose name is prefixed with example in the abc/123 folder are displayed.
4. Click .
