locate command doubt !!!

Hello,
I want to search for a file/directory named "abc" which is located anywhere in the given unix system.
I am using the command :-

Quote:

$ locate abc

But the problem is that this is giving me all combinations of files with have 'abc' in their name. But can I know the option to be used to get the location where only "abc" is present.Can u please help me !!!
