An alternative to find is the command 'locate'. It's pretty simple, just do a 'locate <filename>' on the commandline. If it doesn't find what you're looking for, run '/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb' and then try it again.

PS-- locate.updatedb is by default setup to run weekly. You may wish to change it's cron entry to make it run daily or even multiple times a day depending on how much you use it. Take a look at /etc/crontab, /etc/weekly, and /etc/daily for more ideas of what you can do.
