Follow-up Comment #2, bug #33459 (project findutils):
find . -name test1 -or -name test2 -exec echo {} ;
find . -name test1 -or -name test2 -print
are identical to:
find . -name test1 -or ( -name test2 -exec echo {} ; )
find . -name test1 -or ( -name test2 -print )
while
find . -name test1 -or -name test2
is identical to:
find . ( -name test1 -or -name test2 ) -print
Notice that the absence of -print or -exec results in implicit () around the
rest of the expressions.
but the first 2 commands give the following output
./test2
the last command outputs properly with
./test1
./test2
In all three commands, the results you saw are correct. I think the only bug
here is that you misunderstood how the implicit -print also implies (), which
changes precedence on the rest of the line.
