Is there a switch in "find" (or some other command
besides find)
that'll let you find files larger than a specified size?

May I suggest (g)awk? That way you'll get all, not just 20, of what you want.
du -s *|sort -rn|gawk --re-interval '/^[[:digit:]]{4,}\t/' -This shows dirs with block counts of 1000 or more. And then
there is
perl etc. Usually these threads get long as everyone jumps in with their personal favorite, including me here. :-)
And smaller dirs can be identified with
du -s *|sort -rn|gawk --re-interval '/^[[:digit:]]{,3}\t/' -BTW, I was surprised that the 4.* implementation defaults
required the
"--re-interval" switch. Hmmm.
BTW, sort can be eliminated if order is unimportant.
Why not just use find to test for a file size since thats what he asked for in the first place :)
find ./ -size +5M
Finds all files recursively from the dir you are standing in with a size of 5 MB or more. -size n[cwbkMG] File uses n units of space Numeric arguments can be specified as +n for greater than n, -n for less than n, n for exactly n.
