So I noticed there was no locate/updatedb utility, and I might be the last person to still use locate, but I thought it would be rather useful (especially if running on spinning disks, which I assume might be the case for some of the SerenityOS installations on real hardware).
After studying the mlocate implementation a bit, I started writing an indexer with a corresponding "db" (it's quite a stretch to call it a db tbh), however, it would be good to know if I should go ahead and complete this or if I'm the only one still using locate.
