Oracle How to display only particular file location?

Hi Folks,

I tried to find a file from / directory and received big list of output like below.
Code:
$find / -name merge.txt

Its really tough to find the file location from these many output Smilie.

I just wanted to find only the particular file with location like below.
Code:
$find . -name merge.txt
./merge.txt


Would appreciate if there is any better way to get this.

Regards,
Sri
