find command can search the whole system.
Keep the stars in the above command, they act as wildcard.
Use this command to search for .dae files:
find / -name *.dae
find / -name *filename*
Use this command to search for .dae files:
find / -name *.dae

gupdatedb (not glocate) needs to be run as root and IIRC you have to edit the updatedb script to use gnu find (gfind) instead of busybox's find.
But then it works great. I use it all the time.

for xample i search for *.wav files in result there are too many files shown but not system files which is in /usr/share/sounds ui-charging_started
but it shows other .wav files which are in same folder but not all files
and find command is useless because it only find in the folder (we are working on)
i want to find in the whole system files (including My Docs and and all the hidden files)
can u guide me plz?
