    locate 
https://ss64.com/mac/locate.html

locate searches a database for all pathnames which match the specified pattern. The database is recomputed periodically, (about once a week) and contains the path-names of all files which are publicly accessible.

The database is not set up by default.

Your better bet on MacOS is to use `mdfind -name ....`
