It appears that your find implementation doesn't support the -maxdepth predicate. Fortunately, you can accomplish this task without it:

ftff
FTFF(1) General Commands Manual FTFF(1)NAME
ftff - fault tolerant file find utility
SYNOPSIS
ftff [-#fFhIpq][-t#][start_directory] file_to_find
DESCRIPTION
ftff recursively descends the directory hierarchy and reports all objects in the file system with a name that approximately matches the
given filename.
ftff achieves fault tolerance by calculating the so called Weighted Levenshtein Distance. The Levenshtein Distance is defined as the
minimum number of character insertions, deletions and replacements that transform a string A into a string B.
ftff behaves like
'find start_directory -name file_to_find -print'
with the following differences:
- ftff is fault tolerant
- ftff is NOT case sensitive
- the level of fault tolerance can be adjusted by specifying the optional parameter tolerance. A tolerance of 0 specifies exact
match.
OPTIONS -h Prints a little help/usage information.
-f Follow symbolic links on directories. Note: a symbolic link like "somewhere -> .." causes naturally an endless loop. By default
ftff does not follow symbolic links to directories.
-F Classify the file type by appending a character to each file name. This character is:
'*' for regular files that are executable
'/' for directories
'@' for symbolic links
'|' for FIFOs
'=' for sockets
-p print the actual distance value in front of the filename. This value is equal to the number of insertions, deletions and replace-
ments necessary to transform the file that was found into the search key (the file_to_find).
-q keep quiet and do not print any warning about non readable directories.
-# or -t#
Set the fault tolerance level to #. The fault tolerance level is an integer in the range 0-255. It specifies the maximum number of
errors permitted in finding the approximate match. The default tolerance is (strlen(searchpattern) - number of wildcards)/6 + 1
-I Do case sensitive search (default is case in-sensitive)
file_to_find
The filename to search for. '*' and '?' can be used as wildcards.
'?' denotes one single character.
'*' denotes an arbitrary number of characters.
start_directory
The directory to start the search. The current directory is the default.
The last argument to ftff is not parsed for options as the program needs at least one file-name argument. This means that ftff -x will not
complain about a wrong option but search for the file named -x.
EXAMPLE
ftff samething
This will e.g. find a file called something or sameting or sum-thing or ...
To find all files that start with any prefix, have something like IOComm in between and end on a two letter suffix:
ftff '*iocomm.??'
To find all files that exactly start with the prefix DuPeg:
ftff -0 'dupeg*'
BUGS
The wildcards '?' and '*' can not be escaped. These characters function always as wildcards. This is however not a big problem since there
is normally hardly any file that has these characters in its name.
