I do not want to search in every folder individually.

What operating system are you using?

Answer 1

[Paul]

The dir command can recursively search. I think for this question it would be

d = dir("C:\**\filetofind.m")

Answer 2

You could consider using command line tools

[status, result] = system('dir /s *FILENAMEGOESHERE*');

Try "Everything" by voidtools: https://www.voidtools.com/

It can give you nearly instant results on where files live. Not like the Windows search utility that takes forever.
