locate. How about
building your own locate database of your home directory?
Since in many environments the home directories are not
included in the system locatedb for privacy reasons.
That's actually quite simple, create a (weekly or daily) crontab entry
that runs this command:
updatedb --localpaths="${HOME}" --output="${HOME}/.locatedb"
and create a script Locate:
#!/bin/bash
locate --database="${HOME}/.locatedb" "$@"
Now you can use Locate just as locate
it only searches the contents your home directory.
