How do I search in Linux?

Find Files in Linux, Using the Command Line.

find is a command for recursively filtering objects in the file system based on a simple conditional mechanism.

Use find to search for a file or directory on your file system.

Using the -exec flag, files can be found and immediately processed within the same command.

How do I search in Terminal?

If you know where the file might be, open the terminal, navigate to the directory and run “find . [filename]”. That dot tells find to search on the current directory. If you want to search your Home directory instead, replace the dot with “~/”, and if you want to search your whole filesystem, use “/” instead.
