In man page of "find" (man find), second paragraph in section DESCRIPTION, I
see:

"[...] if you are using it to seach directories [...]"

*seach* should obviously be "search".

Here's the relevant patch.

 If you are using
 .B find
 in an environment where security is important (for example if you are
-using it to seach directories that are writable by other users), you
+using it to search directories that are writable by other users), you
 should read the "Security Considerations" chapter of the findutils
 documentation, which is called \fBFinding Files\fP and comes with
 findutils.   That document also includes a lot more detail
