'find' command inconsistency

I am seeing a strange behavior of the 'find' command on AIX. As you can see,
the find command sometimes finds the file and sometimes does not based on how
many characters I specified between the wildcards.

I know all of these issues
can be resolved by using double quotes like "*est*". But I am posting this to
see if any of you can explain why it is able to find the file when I
specified *estf* but could not when I used *est*.

Code:
/home/testuser>uname -a

AIX myhost 3 5 00080B19D600

/home/testuser>ls -al /tmp/testuser

-rw-r--r--    1 testuser   staff             0 Jun 09 17:29 testfile

/home/testuser>find /tmp/testuser -name *est*


/home/testuser>find /tmp/testuser -name *estf*
/tmp/testuser/testfile
