Description:

The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files
on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of
directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria
(such as a filename pattern). The locate utility searches a database
(create by updatedb) to quickly find a file matching a given pattern.
The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard input
arguments (usually lists of file names generated by the find command).

You should install findutils because it includes tools that are very useful
for finding things on your system.
