Easy Find is a great free alternative to Spotlight for finding files

I usually give my files long and meaningful names, so to find stuff I just need a tool that will quickly and easily let me do a wildcard search on just file names.  I tried a few times, but I was never able to figure out how to do that kind of search using Spotlight.  I finally came across a free application called Easy Find from Devon Technologies that is optimized for the kind of searching I need.  Its pretty bare bones, but it does exactly what I want to be able to do.
