[DM-MUG] cli find command any experts?

[Matthew Nuzum]

Finding help on the find command is always a bit tricky. Googling for 'find
help' is mostly useful if you're having mental issues or drug abuse
problems. 'man find' sounds like something you would not dare type into
Google yet it actually gives reasonable results. :-) Of course, that assumes
you're experienced enough to know that the UNIX command to get help is
'man.' (A friend of mine does user experience work for Ubuntu and he's tried
hard to eradicate the term)
