Using the Ellipsis, Period, and Asterisk Wildcards

  Using the ellipsis wildcard allows you to conduct a broad
  search of an entire directory structure.

  If you begin the directory specification with an ellipsis, the
  search begins from the current directory.  If you begin the
  directory specification with a period, only the subdirectory
  that is one level lower in the directory structure than the
  current directory is searched.

  To search all top level directories and their subdirectories
  from wherever you are in the directory structure, use the
  asterisk (*) wildcard character, followed by an ellipsis.
