How to locate files/directories in Windows power shell

Question

I am using a remote windows server and I have access to only windows power shell. I need to find path of few directories. Is there any way to locate files/directories in windows power shell.

Thank You

This is a pretty trivial question which could be easily answered by reading the documentation. Have you tried using [IO.Directory]::GetFiles("c:\") or even DIR? Or have I misunderstood the question? — Anthill, Nov 07 '12 at 17:16
"Dir" is not working because then I have to go to each directory and type DIR command. If I am searching for Mysql should I write like [IO.MySql] =GetFiles("c:\"). If yes, its not working!! — Sangeeta, Nov 07 '12 at 17:34

C:\> get-childitem -recurse -include *directory-name*
