I don't think it can be done, unless there is some system call to achieve that function. But You could try something like this

Code:
search='apt*'
find $(echo $PATH|tr ":" " ") -type f -name $search -perm -o+x -exec basename {} \; > searchresult.lis
unless it's too clumsy...
/Lakris

PS This won't find aliases
