In DOS, we can search for files inside a directory and
all its sub-directories with "/s" switch in "dir"
command; For example:

dir *.sys c:\windows /s

Why can't similar operation be done with "ls" in
linux?

'cause linux has a better command.  it's called
"find":

  $ man find

with it you can do neat stuff like search for files in
<dir> matching <pattern> and then execute programs
using those results as arguments etc.
for what you asked for above, you can do this:

  $ find /path/to/wherever -name '*.sys'

Yes, "find" works well, however, I have a suggestion:
"ls" command together with "--ignore" option can
ignore patterns; What would happen if there was an
option to *follow* patterns?

Thank you for your help,
