find command can search the whole system.

find / -name *filename*
Keep the stars in the above command, they act as wildcard.

Use this command to search for .dae files:
find / -name *.dae

You can also cd .. all the way to the root folder and use find | grep 'string' (find | grep .dae in your case).

Use locate.

Code:
root
apt-get install locate
gupdatedb
glocate .dae

gupdatedb (not glocate) needs to be run as root and IIRC you have to edit the updatedb script to use gnu find (gfind) instead of busybox's find.
But then it works great. I use it all the time.

Use this command to search for .dae files:
find / -name *.dae
that thing does not find all hidden files or system files
for xample i search for *.wav files in result there are too many files shown but not system files which is in /usr/share/sounds ui-charging_started

but it shows other .wav files which are in same folder but not all files
