Hi Frank.

You mention to that 'find / -name 'test' will find all files in / and below with 'test' in them

Would this command not be more fitting for that description 'find / -name 'test*' ?

Using the asterisk would be good if you are looking for any file that starts with the word test. For instance

test* would give you any file that starts with the word test.
*test would give you any file that ends with the word test.
*test* would find you any file that contains the word test.
