	.SYNOPSIS  
	Fans of (Linux/UNIX) GNU findutils' locate will appreciate Invoke-Locate, which provides similar functionality. "locate" and "updatedb" aliases are automatically created.

Invoke-Locate supports both case-sensitive, and case-insensitive searches, and is case-insensitive by default.

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
