Search part of file - did not include the current folder

[docop]

Hi
I would like to know why the main folder where we do the command is not included when we search for a file ?
from home folder make 1 file: tst5.ss And do: mkdir tst2 , mkdir tst4 , inside these folder do file : xxxgstt5.jpg and sdft5.jpg
then in home folder do :
fdfind -g *t5.jpg # it will list file in those 2 sub folder = 2 file found
fdfind -g *gst*.jpg # it will list file in those 2 sub folder = 2 file found
BUT
fdfind -g *t5.* # 1 file found
will return only the .ss and not list the .jpg of the sub folder. Is this a bug ?

The easy equivalent is : dir *t5.* /s # that will list : .ss and the 2 jpg file in the 2 sub folder. so a result of 3 file found.

I think probably what is happening is that your shell is expanding "t5." to "tst5.ss" before passing it to tfd. and then the only file that matches is the tst5.ss file in your home directory.

Try running fdfind -g '*t5.*'. Note the single quotes, that will prevent your shell from doing glob expansion.

hum indeed it do work with the ' ' . But is there a way to fix as a symlink or so to not have to add extra colon .. ? thanks again
