What's the fastest way to locate a FILE via the command line?

find / -name 'file.txt'

This technique comes in handy when you're trying to locate certain configuration files (as illustrated in the following example):

find / -name 'php.ini'
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini
