Add the location to updatedb and then use locate to find files.

Alternatively, if you know the name of the file (or part of it) then it's
pretty easy to use 'find' - slower but no requirement for updatedb to be
involved at all.

If you REALLY want an index, then 'ls -alR' to a file and whip up a little
perl/python/awk to parse it and spit out an html file.

suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
