Tim,
I know about the locate command. I just thought it searched for individual filenames, not path substrings. In the case of mc, one thing is to look for "mc.ini" and another completely different to look for "ini", which would likely produce a lot of results.
find | grep mc.ini
Even the more complex
find . -name .mc -type d
is just a very basic command. You don't need "locate".
