If so can you tell me how?
The same way you tell find to ignore any other directory. 'man find' or 'info find' are your friends. Try one of these instead, they have different behaviors, but both should ignore /proc: find / -wholename /proc -prune -o \( <your original query> \) -print find / -xdev <your original query> - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
