    DESCRIPTION
         The locate program searches a database for all pathnames which match the
         specified pattern.  The database is recomputed periodically (usually
         weekly or daily), and contains the pathnames of all files which are pub-
         licly accessible.
...
     The locate program may fail to list some files that are present, or may
     list files that have been removed from the system.  This is because
     locate only reports files that are present in the database, which is typ-
     ically only regenerated once a week by the
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist job.  Use find(1) to
     locate files that are of a more transitory nature.
