I tried the following code unsuccessfully

find Applications | xargs -0 grep Applications

I also tried the following unsuccessfully

find Applications
+2  A: 

It's in /Applications.

Try

find /Applications

Was it something instead like:

mdfind Applications | grep Applications

mdfind is a command line interface to Spotlight. Somehow, I doubt this is what you were looking for.

The following command will find the names of Mac apps you have installed somewhere under /Applications.

find /Applications -type d -name "*.app"

Your question as phrased is pretty hard to help with, since you are not stating what your overall intent is...

Do you know which software Google Desktop use? Perhaps, mdfind?
