search within subdirectories

[Nima1972]

Thanks for this.

How I can search within subdirectories (for lack of a better word)?

The find command recurses through all the directories in the target path.

Note that Linux is case sensitve so File is not the same as file

if you need a case insensitive search, you can use find | grep -i [search_text]

Another option for cached searching is the command locate (part of the findutils package), which caches your file list to a file, then when you call it searches the file... much faster than find, but lacks for finding files only in subdirectories or new files (less old than the last cron update execution).
