If you leave your system powered on 24/7, it will periodically create a
database of all (world-traversable) directories/files on your system
(via cron).  You can then easily search this database using locate(1),
e.g.: locate 'site/eg'.  

You can manually create/update this database with 
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb (it may take a while).
