Suppose I have the following directory structure:

a/b1/target
a/b2
a/b2/src
a/b2/target

I need to find all files by name pattern abc* only in subdirectories src, i.e. in a/b1/src and a/b2/src. How can I do it with find command ?

You can -name and -path options:

find . -name "*abc*" -path "*src*"

This will search file names with pattern *abc* in the path matching *src* only.
