Case Insensitive Search
find . -iname ...
Control Descend Depth
The upper and lower limit of the descend depth can be controlled with -mindepth and -maxdepth, as follows:
find . -mindepth n
Configure find to apply tests and action at levels equal or deeper than n. -mindepth 1 processes all but the command line arguments.
find . -maxdepth n
Configure find to descend at most n directory levels below the command line arguments. -maxdepth 0 limits the whole search to the command line arguments.
In order to access directory between an upper and lower depth limit, both -mindepth and -maxdepth should be used.
Time Constraints
Find all files modified less that 2 days ago
find . -mtime -2
