a very simple question from a very newbie. 

How do I get the command find to search all the subdirectories.
I had a look at man find but to no avail.
I tried many different options including find -depth find -mindepth -maxdepth
but I still can't get find to find anything beyond the current directory.

This didn't help me either:

Following the example:
find / -name access_log
I typed:
$ find /usr -name *adsl*
But I got:
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]

So: what would be the proper syntax?

Thanks a lot,

Anguo
