Sorry, it seems I missed the most important question:
What is your exact use case?
We need numbers and commands to reproduce it.

Otherwise, this is all just guesswork, and we could spend years to discuss
what could maybe be considered, etc.  You already got the ideal answer for
probably 99.9% of the cases - "use find(1)" - so unless you describe your
outstanding edge case in more detail, I'm afraid there's nothing more we
could help you with.

Have a nice day,
