Hello,
The simplest way would be to run the following from the directory where you
think the file is located:
find . -iname "informed_consent_lymphoma.doc" -exec mv {} /home/yourusername
\;
Replace yourusername with your login name, and when the file is found, it
will be moved into your home directory.
If you're not certain where on the system the file is located, replace "find
." with "find /" to search every folder on the computer for the document.
Obviously if you're running multiple distros, you'll need to run this
command in each of the distros to find the file.
Hope this helps.

neurosurgeon, this is a difficult case, and I need that file, and I don't
have all day to search, I'm a little nervous and I JUST FORGOT HOW TO SEARCH
THIS FILE IN COMMAND LINE. (This patient has zooed all his previous
