ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 403
In its simplest form, find takes one parameter: the path. In its actually useful form, it takes the path followed by narrowing criteria.
Thus, you want:
find(the program)/(the path), and-name abc.dmg(the criteria).
find / -name abc.dmg
ANSWER 2
Score 76
find . -name '*.csv' for instance worked for me with wildcards. OP could also use find . -name '*.dmg' to check his current directory, assuming he was in /.
ANSWER 3
Score 20
The mdfind command uses the Spotlight database
