finding files in unix and excluding certain folders
hi good day
I am using redhat linux.
Is there a better utility than the 'find' command to search for files
I am trying to search through and enitre directory such as /repos for a files that have 'UAP' in it. However there are some '.step' folders littered throughout the /repos folder at varying levels, that I want to exclude from the search, so that the search will be faster. Is there a way to do this, also is there a way to limit the search to just files created with my user account id. example

find /repos BUT -exclude folders with '.step' type f -iname '*UAP* PLUS -userid john

Is there some way to achieve this. I am mainly looking to increase speed since there are a large number of files.

thanks

NAME

       reposync - synchronize yum repositories to a local directory

SYNOPSIS

       reposync [options]

DESCRIPTION

       reposync is used to synchronize a remote yum repository to a local directory, using yum to retrieve the packages.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message, and then quit.

       -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
	      Config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf).

       -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
	      Act as if running the specified arch (default: current arch, note: does not override $releasever. x86_64 is a superset for i*86.).

       --source
	      Also download .src.rpm files.

       -r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID
	      Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled).

       -t, --tempcache
	      Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.

       -p DESTDIR, --download_path=DESTDIR
	      Path to download packages to: defaults to current directory.

       -g, --gpgcheck
	      Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading.  exit status is '1' if at least one package was removed.

       -u, --urls
	      Just list urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.

       -l, --plugins
	      Enable yum plugin support.

       -n, --newest-only
	      Download only newest packages per-repo.

       -q, --quiet
	      Output as little information as possible.

EXAMPLES

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
	       reposync --repoid=updates

       Sync only the newest packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
	       reposync -n --repoid=updates

       Sync packages from the 'updates' and 'extras' repos to the current directory:
	       reposync --repoid=updates --repoid=extras

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory:
	       reposync -p repos --repoid=updates

       Sync  all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory excluding x86_64 arch. Edit /etc/yum.conf adding option exclude=*.x86_64.
       Then:
	      reposync -p repos --repoid=updates

FILES

       reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and packages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum	configura-
       tion will be used.

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
