Find Case Insensitive Search with Linux Find Command

There is an option we could provide the find command with if we want to ignore case in the find search result.

The option is -iname, which searches for the filename using a case insensitive search.

find [starting-point] -iname [expression]

Examples: Using -iname to run a case-insensitive search

Run a case-insensitive search to find files named readme in Linux root filesystem (/):

find / -iname readme

The following command performs a case-insensitive search in the /etc directory to find filenames that start with gpg-key:

find /etc -iname gpg-key*

Ignore case and find files and folders that contain network anywhere in the file or folder name:

find /etc -iname *network*
