Comments on How to search files from the Terminal on Linux
While there are many ways with which we can search and locate files and directories on Linux, the easiest and quickest is probably through the terminal. However, not many Linux users know about that, which leads to unneeded frustration. Here is a quick guide that will hopefully help you locate what you're looking for in your system.

You're documenting text commands with text output...
And you thought it would be a good idea to post screenshots. WTF?
So, anyone who's visually impaired can't read any of your article's sample output.
Well done.
Hey "Anonymous"I believe that screenshots of terminals help people see if an output is normal or expected. Maybe in this case I exagerated, but if anyhting, you can always skip them. :)
No, I think he has a good point. Visually impaired people (aka blind) cannot have their text-to-speech programs read screenshots, only text.
So having printed output as text instead of picture is actually much more sensible in general.
personally I use $find ~/ xxx | grep yyy
its super fast and I can drill down by piping to more grep commands
If you are going to post images of the terminal, PLEASE crop the image to the terminal only! We don't need to see the whole desktop! Even expanging the image makes it hard to read the text displayed in the terminal.
You are right, I will crop from now on. Thanks for your comment :)
These commands do zip on my Ubuntu 16.04.
Thanks!
