The find command recursively descends through the directory tree looking for files that match a logical expression. The find command has many options and is very powerful. Rather than go into detail here, I encourage you to take a look at the man pages for find. The findcommand does have a rather contorted syntax which is not easily mastered, and if truth be written, that's why I'm not spending more paper on it here.
However, here is a quick example that should get you started:
find ./ -name elm -print
will print all occurrences of a file named "elm" in the working directory and all of its subdirectories.
