But, in fact, it doesn't work. Rather, it doesn't do what the original poster asked. It suffers from at least two problems.
1) If there is a sub-directory with a "." in the name, then it will search that sub-directory.
2) It will not find files that do not contain a "." in the name. It is very common for file names not to be of the form x.y.
