The quickest way is

  locate 123456

which will find it in a database. By default, it will match
the pattern with anything in the path, so if 123456 is
in the directory name, that will also come up as a match.
This does substring matches and will return 123456A, etc.

You can also do a realtime search with "find". It takes
longer, but it's more thorough. By default, it will only
match file names. It uses regular expressions.

   find /searchPath -name filename
