Locate can be found in "findutils-locate" package for SuSE. I'm not aware of slocate for that linux flavour.

Just to advocate locate: it is faster and less resource consuming than a find (the heavy part is the updatedb but it can be done at night).

Cons: it is not up to date. If you search a file added after the updatedb you won't find it.

But probably you are already aware of it.
