Ignore case when trying to match file names using find command in Linux

Question

Right now, all I know to use is:

find / -name string.*

that is case sensitive and it won\'t find files named:

1string.x
STR         


        

Answer 1

Use the -iname option instead of -name.

Answer 2

If the system you are in does not have the find command provided by the GNU utils package, you can use the -name tag alone with POSIX bracket expressions as

find . -name '*[Ss][Tt][Rr]ing*'

Answer 3

This works as well, if you want to avoid the single quotes:

find . -iname \*string\*

Answer 4

Or you could use find / | grep -i string

Answer 5

Use -iname in find for case insensitive file name matches.
