something else that you could use is 'locate'

it's on most systems nowdays and it updates each night from cron.  it's not as cpu intensive and you can update is quickly with 'updatedb'.

if you're just searching removable media, as in your /media/... example then find would be better.

i prefer locate to find when searching the entire system.
