How can I search the entire (unix) file system for files whose name contains a specific substring?

# To list files whose name contains "yoursearchterm"
find / -name "*yoursearchterm*" -print

Swap the "/" with a more specific path to limit your search. Add "-maxdepth 1" after the path and before "-name" to limit your search to a single directory.
