I like locate and have been using it for years.  It's an RPM
installable off the installation media.  I think you have to turn
it on after installation through YaST services.

No......once installed, open a konsole, su or sux to root, then run "updatedb"
Once done, then locate works fine.

And after this it will be updated via a cronjob each night or whenever the cron is set to run .. I forget when that is as I've had the same modified crontab for quite awhile now because I disable a lot of SUSE crons that are installed off the DVD.
