I've been using find for many years in the linux bash. Now I'm confused when
using gnuwin32's find.exe,
e.g. this way:

>find "path" -iname "*n"
or 
>find "path" -iname "*nnn*"
or 
>find "path" -iname "*nbb"

work fine, but I get: 

find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]

when executing this:

>find "path" -iname "*n*"
or
>find  "path" -iname "*nb"
or
>find  "path" -iname "*.nb"
or
>find  "path" -iname "*b"

What's the difference to linux find here? (a bug???)
