'Azure Devops API - how to filter/search by project name?
I'm using the GET project List API and I want to filter out the results by a search query parameters.
I have multiple projects under a certain organization and I want to get back only the projects that start with some 'name' initial. I looked everywhere on the documentation but couldn't find any way doing such a query. Is there a way to narrow down the results?
I saw that some API's have the ?$filter={filter} query param, but it won't work on projects filtering.

As you said, it's impossible in this API to filter the results before you get them.
You only can filter the projects after you get the reulsts with Bash/Powershell etc.

I run into similar issue, except I am trying to filter base on Azure Devops's Repo list.
It seems M$ has done a terrible job in providing consistent filters features.
I did notice some of the API does provide ?$filter={filter} and I found documentation here would probably help?
Some of the API provides a different search method in form of search criteria /commits?searchCriteria.$skip={searchCriteria.$skip}&searchCriteria.$top={searchCriteria.$top}...
