EDIT: fixed it. Putting -maxdepth before -name works!

@rbattel

When I run
Code:
find . -name "*d*" -print

several hundred files are found, as it delved into subdirectories (not my intent)

but when I try
Code:
find . -name -maxdepth 1 "*d*" -print

I get
Code:
find: paths must precede expression: `1'
