i want to find files in a folder, given a chunk of their name. The

Using
every item of folder "fld" whose name contains "chunk of filenane"
is awfully slow AND case sensitive.
In the dictionary of the Finder (OS 10.4.11) i found:
find v : Return object that match the provided query
find Unicode text : the query to execute (in Spotlight form)
Anyone can explain how to use this command (the spotlight form)?
If i do a
find "chunk of file"
it opens a empty spotlight window.
Or is there a (free) osax or handler, which do a fast filesearch
(case insensitive or the best with regexp)?
MetaData.osax should be at: <http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~philip/
#MetaData.osax>
