How to search the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine by URL prefix or pattern?

I know it is possible to search by domain as mentioned at: How to search Internet Archive for all pages from a particular domain but this is not always feasible for huge domains like Twitter, where there will be way too many results for a given date.

For example I spent a long time looking for: https://web.archive.org/web/20191005025317if_/https://twitter.com/dmorey/status/1180312072027947008

I knew the user's URL: https://twitter.com/dmorey and the approximate date based on news reports, but not the Tweet URL since the Tweet had been deleted, so what I would like would be to search for any URL under https://twitter.com/dmorey

I tried to add an asterisk: https://twitter.com/dmorey/*: http://web.archive.org/web/20190615000000*/https://twitter.com/dmorey/* but that has no results.

How I ended up finding the page: http://archive.is has the asterisk feature, which pointed me to the desired exact URL.
