locate isn't missing. The database isn't built by default, but you can do that.

Mouse-Rig-Test:~ jon$ locate usage: locate [-0Scims] [-l limit] [-d database] pattern ...

default database: `/var/db/locate.database' or $LOCATE_PATH

Mouse-Rig-Test:~ jon$ which locate

/usr/bin/locate

Or, just use mdfind, the command line interface to spotlight.

Spotlight can be a little wonky as far as what it indexes. At least by default, it ignores things locate doesn't.
