ff <pattern> [path-1] [path-2] ... [path-n]
Search files which name matches to pattern in paths directories recursively, case-insensitively. The file's path is matched if pattern contains '/'. Searching is done horizontaly, ie. scan the upper-most directory level first completely, then dive into the next level and scan those directories before moving to the 3rd level deep, and so on. This way users usually find what they search for more quickly.
