title: Locate command can't find anything inside Documents folder on mac
body: <p>As it says in the description. I first check our database is up to date</p>
  
  <pre><code>mh547:bin crashandburn4$ sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
  Password:       #password entered and function executed without errors
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then try and search for something inside my Documents folder</p>
  
  <pre><code>mh547:bin crashandburn4$ cd ~/Documents/
  mh547:Documents crashandburn4$ ls
      Mamp_workspace/                         Scenarios.docx                          gc01/
  mh547:Documents crashandburn4$ locate Scenarios.docx    #nothing returned
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then try another random folder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mh547:Documents crashandburn4$ cd ..
  mh547:~ crashandburn4$ ls
