In that case, you need to use an expression to select the desired rows.

An expression like this will probably work:

"Name_column" LIKE 'abc%'

After this you can click on the bottom left button and choose "Show
selected features only".

If you want to make it more permanent (i.e., not dependent of the selected
features) you can use the expression on the layers filter (right-click the
layer > filter)
