This is just standard UNIX stuff; I was just trying to give you the 
general feel. Try reading though:

But basically, if you do not know what the directory names are, and you 
do not know of a list of patterns that will identify them, then you are 
not going to get very far :-)

find -name

can take more than one pattern to find the directories, then you can 
pipe that to another command, such as grep, or another find and ask that 
command to search all the files in that directory etc.
Read up on find and grep.
