   > @ArafatKhan2198 I understand that why we are assigning the startPrefix as 
empty. My original question was not about why you are assigning the startPrefix 
as empty. Rather the point is why there is a. need to validate that if API is 
already setting default as EMPTY String. That check is redundant.
   
   @devmadhuu 
   The reason for adding a check to see if the startPrefix is default (empty) 
is to handle cases where both startPrefix and prevKey are empty. In such 
scenarios, we need to iterate through all the records in the table.
   
   Without this null check, validateStartPrefix would return false because it 
mistakenly interprets the empty startPrefix as a volume-level search, which 
isn't allowed. By adding a check for an empty string, we explicitly allow this 
condition where startPrefix is `""`. Without this, for the default value of 
`""`, we would encounter an error and the following would be logged:
   ```
   return createBadRequestResponse("Invalid startPrefix: Path must be at the 
bucket level or deeper.");
   ```
   This adjustment ensures the search behaves correctly when startPrefix is 
empty, avoiding unnecessary errors.
