plocate

Find filenames quickly. Make sure to run sudo updatedb to include new files. More information: https://plocate.sesse.net.

  • Look for patterns in the database (recomputed periodically):

plocate {{pattern}}

  • Look for a file by its exact filename (a pattern containing no globbing characters is interpreted as *pattern*):

plocate */{{filename}}
