Many of the commenters here have missed an essential line of ffind's description from the article, emphasis mine:
> find in this directory and all the subdirectories a file that contains some_text in its filename
This is NOT a find+grep/ack/ag -alike. It's used for rapid search on filenames, not file contents. Think of it as TextMate's Cmd-T for the command-line.
