Well, try this in a GUI:

 ls -R | grep 'filename' | mailx smitjohn@blah.domain.edu

which will search for 'filename' through all subdirectories, starting in
the current one (not including directories above it) and mail the results
to John Smith.

Using a "find" command on a GUI usually yields all results on a volume, this
is more specific- plust it's automatically mailed off, and it takes about
2 seconds to pull off.
