title: putting find in a bash_profile function
body: <p>I want to make bash function in my .bash_profile that basically does a <code>find ./ -name $1</code>, very simple idea, seems not to work. My tries don't print things the right way i.e.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>find_alias() {
       `find ./ -name $1 -print`                                                                                                                                                                           
   }
   alias ff='find_alias $1'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above if I do something like <code>ff *.xml</code> I get the following one liner:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>bash: .pom.xml: Permission denied</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The following after that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>find_alias() {
      echo -e `find ./ -name $1 -print`
  }
  alias ff='find_alias $1'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does find them all, but puts the output of that onto one massive long line, what am I doing wrong here?</p>
