Sometimes you know that a file or directory exists, but you don't know where to find it. You can use the Locate command to search for files or directories.
Using the Locate command, you will see each directory or file that includes the search criteria. For example, if you want to search for files with the word finger in all names, type:
Locate finger
The locate command uses a database to locate files and directories with the word finger in a file or directory name. The search results may include a file called Finger.txt, a file called Pointerfinger.txt, a directory named Fingerthumbnails, and so on.
