Those backticks make the shell interpret what's inside them as a
command and
returns the result to the find commandline. So I guess if it is
working it
is expanding the * thereby and returning the individual filenames.
Will this
still work if the cwd is not /in/this/dir? I think not.
Use double quotes:
find / -name "(file)*" -print
