-The second simplified form will list all files on the system
-whose pathname contains
-.I name.
-This is similar to
-.sp
-.ti
-find / -mtime +0 -name "*<name>*" -print
-.sp
-but much faster.
-As with
-.B -name
-below, shell syntax may be used for
-.I name.
+The second form rapidly searches a database for all pathnames
+which match
+.IR pattern .
+Usually the database is recomputed
+weekly and contains the pathnames
+of all files which are publicly accessible.
+If escaped, normal shell
+\*(lqglobbing\*(rq characters (`*', `?', `[', and ']')
+may be used in
+.IR pattern ,
+but the matching differs in that no characters
+.RI ( e.g. " `/')"
+have to be matched explicitly.
+As a special case, a simple
+.I pattern
+containing no globbing characters
+is matched as though it were
+.IR *pattern* ;
+if any globbing character appears
+there are no implicit globbing characters.
