I've also found that the "locate" package makes my life a lot easier. It 
periodically creates a database of your file structure–the frequency of 
which you define with a cron job–such that it is then able to quickly 
search the DB and return a result.

On Ubuntu, there's a basic "locate" package, but it also appears there's
"plocate" (Debian-based distros) and "mlocate" (RHEL-based distros) 
packages as well.

The latter two (whichever is appropriate) claim significantly improved 
performance.

Here's a decent guide on how to install and use it:
