Object Storage Service (OSS) provides the data indexing feature to allow you to index the metadata of objects. You can specify the metadata of objects as index conditions to query objects.
MetaSearch and AISearch are available for data indexing, for which you are charged metadata management fees and metadata retrieval fees. This feature is free of charge during the public preview. In addition to the aforementioned billable items, you are charged additional fees based on the number of API operation calls when you use MetaSearch and AISearch.
This topic describes the billable items and billing methods of the metadata management feature in OSS. For more information, visit the OSS pricing page.
