You say that you have a bunch of directories several of which contain a file named file1. And you say that you want to be able to give bash's select a list of directories that contain a file named file1. But you then go on to say that the directory /mytest/folder1 contains the six files: files1.1, files1.2, files1.3, testmyfile, thefiletest, and other (none of which are named file1) and your code is only looking for files in the directory named /mytest/folder1 with names that start with files1. (including the s and the <period> and not looking for files in any other directory).
If you're looking for files named file1 in several directories, one might have expected you to use:
or (if the files you want are deeper in a file hierarchy):
instead of:
Please clarify what you are really trying to do.

XZDIFF(1) XZ Utils XZDIFF(1)NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed
directly to cmp or diff. If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported com-
pression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.
The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
SEE ALSO cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
