.SYNOPSIS
Fans of (Linux/UNIX) GNU findutils' locate will appreciate Invoke-Locate, which provides similar functionality. "locate" and "updatedb" aliases are automatically created.
.DESCRIPTION
This script was made in the spirit of GNU locate. While the name of this script is Invoke-Locate, it actually creates two persistent aliases: locate and updatedb. A fresh index is automatically created every 6 hours, updatedb can be used force a refresh. Indexes generally takes less than three minutes. Performing the actual locate takes about 300 milliseconds. Invoke-Locate supports both case-sensitive, and case-insensitive searches, and is case-insensitive by default.
locate queries a user-specific SQLite database prepared by updatedb (Task Scheduler) and writes file names matching the pattern to standard output, one per line. Since the back-end is SQL, SQL "LIKE" syntax can be used for the search pattern (ie % and _). Asterisks are automatically translated to % for people who are used to searching with
