You might be looking for locate(1) command which is a much faster and simpler alternative to find. I find it much easier to use for just locating files however for more difficult things I do tend to use find (because of the -exec option).
You just use it by typing: "locate foo bar baz" and it will find all
instances of files named foo, bar or baz.
