How to find a file recursively in children? Like the opposite of locate-dominating-file (locate-dominating-file finds file recursively in its parent directory)?

Library find-dired+.el is an extension of standard library find-dired.el. It offers a few find commands that can help:
find-dired,find-name-dired,find-grep-dired- Like the standard commands, but with optional args to limit depth and exclude specified paths.find-time-dired- Find files newer or older than a given timestamp.
Use find-lisp-find-files from find-lisp.el.
find-lisp-find-files takes two arguments: directory-to-search-from and regexp-of-file-that-you-want-to-search
(defun find-lisp-find-files (directory regexp) ...)
It returns a list of files that match the regexp if found, else it returns nil.
directory-files-recursively. That's sufficient for most jobs.
