Editing Find (Unix) (section)

==Related utilities==
* <code>[[locate (Unix)|locate]]</code> is a Unix search tool that searches a prebuilt database of files instead of directory trees of a file system. This is faster than <code>find</code> but less accurate because the database may not be up-to-date.
* <code>[[grep]]</code> is a command-line utility for searching plain-text data sets for lines matching a regular expression and by default reporting matching lines on [[standard output]].
* <code>[[tree (command)|tree]]</code> is a command-line utility that recursively lists files found in a directory tree, indenting the filenames according to their position in the file hierarchy.
* [[GNU Find Utilities]] (also known as findutils) is a [[GNU package]] which contains implementations of the tools <code>find</code> and <code>[[xargs]]</code>.
* [[BusyBox]] is a utility that provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable file, intended for embedded operating systems with very limited resources. It also provides a version of <code>find</code>.
* <code>[[dir (command)|dir]]</code> has the /s option that recursively searches for files or directories.
* [[Plan 9 from Bell Labs]] uses two utilities to replace {{code|find}}: a {{code|walk}} that only walks the tree and prints the names and a {{code|sor}} that only filters (like grep) by evaluating expressions in the form of a shell script. Arbitrary filters can be used via pipes. The commands are not part of [[Plan 9 from User Space]], so Google's Benjamin Barenblat has a ported version to POSIX systems available through GitHub.<ref>{{cite web |title=google / walk: Plan 9 style utilities to replace find(1) |url=https://github.com/google/walk |website=GitHub |access-date=30 March 2020}}</ref>
* {{code|fd}} is a simple alternative to {{code|find}} written in the [[Rust programming language]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Peter |first1=David |title=sharkdp/fd: A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find' |url=https://github.com/sharkdp/fd |website=GitHub |date=30 March 2020}}</ref>
