The find util has co-dependency issues and likes its globbed args to be held...preferably between double-quotes.

Seriously, it does not always behave as expected on globbed -name args. You'll want to make sure and wrap your args in proper quotes to ensure that find can parse them properly.
Code:
find /tmp/testuser -name *est*   -o -name *estf* 
# versus ... 
find /tmp/testuser -name "*est*" -o -name "*estf*"
