[SOLVED]Locate command not found

I have recently installed arch, which seems great so far, (including the base, base-devel and a few other things) and I am having one problem. The locate command does not seem to be working from the command line.

eg:

locate atlas
bash: locate: command not found

Do I need to install something extra to obtain the locate command? Locate is such a common word I am having a little trouble tracking down the problem with google.

Re: [SOLVED]Locate command not found

> pacman -Ss locate
core/findutils 4.4.2-2 (base)
    GNU utilities to locate files
core/mlocate 0.22.4-1
    Faster merging drop-in for slocate

You want mlocate.
