The Findutils package contains programs to find files, either on-the-fly (by doing a live recursive search through directories and only showing files that match the specifications) or by searching through a database.
Findutils installs the following:

By default, the location of the updatedb database is in /usr/var. To make the location of /var/lib/misc/locatedb file FHS compliant, pass the --localstatedir=/var/lib/misc option to configure.
Compile the package:

This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the following command will do so:
