title: How to do a simple file search in cmd
body: <p>I want to quickly search for a file given its name or part of its name, from the windows command line (not power shell). This is similar to opening explorer and using the search box at the top. </p>
  
  <p>Note: <code>dir</code> can search based on a string template but it will not search in the subdirectories. </p>
  
  <p>Note2: <code>findstr</code> can be used to search for a token inside files and has a recursivity flag; it's funny that a more complex find can be easily discovered ...</p>
