The Find Files tool is a useful method of searching for specific files on your computer, or for searching for files that match a pattern. An example of this could include searching for files of a particular type or with certain letters in the filename, or that contain a certain piece of text in their contents.
KFind is a graphical tool, and not normally run from the command line.
OPTIONS

You may optionally supply a path to prefill the dialog where to start the search.
