[I hate seeing weakly unedited posts, and my apologies for 
  the earlier post.]

  [Yegappan confirmed that in 

       :file <partial><C-D>

   <C-D> doesn't search for files using directories set in 
   the 'path' option.]

  But the definition of c_CTRL-D is:

      "List names that match the pattern in front of the cursor."

  So <C-D> is not only for file-name completion -- it is for
  command-line completion -- a good example is :help <partial><C-D>.

  So since :find uses 'path', shouldn't <C-D> acting as command-line
  completion use 'path' for completing :find <partial><C-D>?
