A common mistake involving wildcards and the find command

For me, Silver Searcher often fails to find matches in files that 'grep' will, easily. I've not been able to determine why this is, but it happens often enough that I consider SS to be highly unreliable, even if its fast.

So, it seems that there are still some issues to be sorted here.

This claim needs adequate proof, please provide an example. Otherwise the HN reader has to assume you made a user error.

Maybe it has something to do with my not understanding its case sensitivity rules .. which I've learned about in this thread as being different.

As soon as it happens again I'll bring it here as an example, but like I said I stopped using silversearcher because of it getting in my way like that.
