Why is my find not recursive?
2 answers
find . -name *.jks -print 2>/dev/null
returns files of extension jks that do not have underscores as part of their name. Much to my surprise, I have just discovered that * does NOT substitute the underscore.
find . -name *_*.jks -print 2>/dev/null
returns files of extension jks that have one underscore.
How do I search for files that have 0 or more underscores? Using OSX Mountain Lion.

Your question is a bit strange: in my Linux (CentOS 5), your sample doesn't work. I have to write "*.jks". And, anyway, it returns all files with extension jks, with or without an underscore, that is what you are asking for.

@AndrewQ, probably amphibient has no *.jks file in the work directory itself, so the wildcard is not expanded before the execution offind.

all versions of find that I know will match underscores with wildcards.
be warned that when doing.
find . -name *.jks -print 2>/dev/null
the "*.jks" might get expanded by the shell, before running the find command.
e.g.
$ mkdir foo
$ touch a.jks foo/a.jks foo/b.jks
a.jks
$ find . -name *.jks -print
./a.jks
./foo/a.jks
this is really because you are actually calling find . -name a.jks -print, and thus it will not find e.g. b.jks.
if you quote the wildcard expression, you might have more luck:
$ find . -name "*.jks" -print
./a.jks
./foo/a.jks
./foo/b.jks
i'm pretty sure that running
$ find . -name "*.jks" -print
will give you all files with and without underscores.
