Details:

Finding some patterns ends with an error message:

address@hidden:~$ sudo find / -name wol*
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]↵
address@hidden:~$ find -v

while others go normally:
address@hidden:~$ sudo find / -name gol*
/home/tibor/golden.txt
address@hidden:~$

and of course the problem is mainly with patterns I need...
