How do you search for an object that has names spaces on it? If I have a locator named Loc and I save that file out and then reference that file in a clean file, the name of my locator now would look something like this locator:Loc. How can I search for the object named Loc with out getting snagged by the name space?

use the -recursive (-r) flag (with the ls command!)

ls -r 1 "Loc";
// Result: locator:Loc
