Thanks again for the tip Devac!

if you're going to use it in OS X - you'll need to build the database first.

  $ locate ?

  WARNING: The locate database (/var/db/locate.database) does not exist.

To create the database, run the following command:

  sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist

  Please be aware that the database can take some time to generate; once
the database has been created, this message will no longer appear.
