Just noticed you're using a GNU system, so with bash/GNU find you can use the following syntax:

_path="/apps12i"

read -p'enter filename: '

_found="$(

   find "$_path" -type f -name "$REPLY" -printf 'found: %p\n'    )"

[[ $_found ]] &&

   printf '%s\n' "$_found" ||

      printf 'cannot find %s under %s\n' "$REPLY" "$_path"
