Windows 8.1, how to find a file

In W7 and before I seem to recall being able to search for a file using the file manager (explorer, is it?).

Tonight I wanted to find the installation files for Netflix so that I could copy a pointer on my W8.1 lookalike to W7 Desk Top. I can't find the Netflix folder, yes if I type Netflix on the W8.1 tiles desktop I'll get access to Netflix, but I wasn't able to fine the executive in my file system that way.

In the old days when I wanted to copy an activation icon to the desktop I would fine the executive (activator) and copy it to the Desk Top. I would like to be able to do that in W8.1.
