Find by name should locate it whether it is a file or a symlink. E.g.,
$find / -name "<YourFileName>".

Have you tried using locate (after an updatedb)? Unless you have
custom filters, that should find anything in any file system directly
mounted on your machine (again, symlink or file doesn't matter).
Locate is generally much faster than find. Also, sometimes you need to
run find with sudo; not needed with locate. Also, locate will find any
pattern that matches, whole file name or not. Find requires globbing
patterns in quotes to do that. There's also a '-i' flag for locate
(-iname for find) to eliminate case-sensitivity.

Just a thought.  HTH.
