Find File Recursively in Powershell
To recursively search:
Get-ChildItem -Include cmake.exe -File -Recurse
the filter is in -Include and can be a wildcard mask i.e. *cmake*, cmake.??? etc.
Sample output:
alone@isb C:\ ❯❯❯ Get-ChildItem -Include cmake.exe -File -Recurse
Directory: C:\dev\vcpkg\downloads\tools\cmake-3.24.0-windows\cmake-3.24.0-windows-i386\bin

Wrap it in a function and add to profile:
function rsf($arg) {
Get-ChildItem -Include $arg -File -Recurse
}
