In the Unix and GNU/Linux world, "locate" with its updatedb database builder has existed before Windows 95.

It's part of a the standard install of various mainstream distros.

To find all cpp files, just:

  locate '***.cpp'
Find all .conf files under /etc:

  locate '/etc/**.conf'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locate_(Unix) says:

"locate was first created in 1982.[1] The BSD and GNU Findutils versions derive from the original implementation."
