John, Why does locate fail you? If your system is on overnight the database is updated. If not, as root (sudo) you can run updatedb (see man updatedb). You can use part of a filename with locate and try different strings to isolate what you want. Since locate searches the slocate database you're not doing a sequential search through terrabytes of data.
