try using locate instead of 'find' and remove the period after 'find'

Sorry, I get this
[huamin@CentOS65x64 /]$ locate -name "*ownloads*"
locate: invalid value `ame' of --limit
[huamin@CentOS65x64 /]$ locate -name "*ownloads*"
locate: invalid value `ame' of --limit
remove the -name
locate "*ownloads*"
locate "*ownloads*"
Using find followed by a period only looks in folders below the current folder. When I run your command from my home folder, it works:
username ~ $ cd
username ~ $ pwd
/home/username
username ~ $ find . -name "*ownloads*"
./.kde4/share/apps/khtml/easylistdownloadsadblockplusorgeasylistnoelemhide.txt
./.thunderbird/lsqi76kk.default/downloads.json
./.moonchild productions/pale moon/ocmjoebb.default/downloads.sqlite
./Downloads
locate will search all directories, usually used at root level
