[plug] How to "locate *.foo" ??

[Michael Holland]

The useful locate command has been replaced with slocate, but I'm not 
sure how to get the old behavior for a simple "locate *.foo" .
   In the old version, that would get me all filenames with that extension,
but now it returns all files with .foo anywhere in the name, as if I
asked for *.foo*  . Why??
   There is a -regexp option, but   "slocate --regexp '.*\.foo$' "
matches nothing. Why doesn't the $ match end of filename?

cheers, Mike
