I was trying to find a file by name that contains the word: compact not sure
if capitalized or not

so I used 
user@computer:~$ find -iname *compact*
and got one result, not the file I was looking for

then I tried
user@computer:~$ find -iname *Compact*
and got 7 results including the previous one, my file was there

(originally on 4.8 that comes preinstalled, installed 4.9.0 and got the same
results)
