find command not searching path when -newer specified
When this command is issued from a directory other than where the file is located it works fine:
Code:
find /db2/D01/log_archive/ -name "S0002166.LOG" -type f
/db2/D01/log_archive/db2d01/D01/NODE0000/C0000000/S0002166.LOG
When I change -name to -newer, it doesn't work. Find only searches the current directory, not the path specified:
Code:
find /db2/D01/log_archive/ -newer "S0002166.LOG" -type f
find: S0002166.LOG: No such file or directory
There are files in the path newer than the one specified. The correct results are returned only if I execute the command in the same directory as the file, so it appears that with -newer, the find path isn't being searched.
What am I doing wrong?

locate
LOCATE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCATE(1)NAME
locate -- find filenames quickly
SYNOPSIS
locate [-0Scims] [-l limit] [-d database] pattern ...
DESCRIPTION
The locate program searches a database for all pathnames which match the specified pattern. The database is recomputed periodically (usually
weekly or daily), and contains the pathnames of all files which are publicly accessible.
Shell globbing and quoting characters (``*'', ``?'', ``'', ``['' and ``]'') may be used in pattern, although they will have to be escaped
from the shell. Preceding any character with a backslash (``'') eliminates any special meaning which it may have. The matching differs in
that no characters must be matched explicitly, including slashes (``/'').
As a special case, a pattern containing no globbing characters (``foo'') is matched as though it were ``*foo*''.
Historically, locate only stored characters between 32 and 127. The current implementation store any character except newline ('
') and NUL
('
