My apologies for the belated response. I have been intensively configuring GNU
Emacs incorrectly.

Thanks to your statement about `find-dired', I realized my usage of
`find-name-dired' is unnecessary because it redundantly filters by name using `occur'.

I need to locate a package file, for Exherbo Linux, with the extension
of '.exheres-0' or '.exlib' within the directory
'~/Internet/Git/Exherbo/Remote/'.

The current implementation with `find-dired':

""""""
(defun archmux/exherbo-cd ()
  "Find exheres."
  (interactive
   (let* (
	  (exherbo_directory	"~/Internet/Git/Exherbo/Remote/")
	  (exheres_user_input	(read-from-minibuffer "Exheres to locate: "))
	  (find-pattern		(concat "-name " exheres_user_input "*"))
	  (find-ls-option       '("-type f -ls" . ""))
	  )
     (find-dired exherbo_directory find-pattern)
     )
   )
  )
""""""

Thank you,
Archmux
