vim will find and open the file almost instantly, and search 30 dirs deep by default (if memory serves me well), if the directory path is globstarred.

(set path+=**,$HOME/Documents/**,$HOME/.config/**)

You can define CDPATH (colon-separated list) in your .bashrc, and cd directly anywhere defined in $CDPATH.

Both above examples utilized auto-completion.

You can pipe find to grep as well. All just as fast, easy, good, or better, IMO.
