> and finally find -iname 'partofname*' but it is a little slower... Here is an alias that I find useful:
alias fi 'find . -name ''\*\!*\*'' -print' so e.g. i can say fi tax and it lists any file in my account that has "tax" somewhere in the filename. That is for tcsh; if you use bash/zsh then syntax for aliases will be different. You may want to change -name to -iname as in Joel's message. Also as noted by Joel, it tends to chew up a lot of CPU, so not for indiscriminate use on shared machines. Sorry this is kind of late after the initial question, but I thought it could still be useful. Randall (skimming old email)
