Follow-up Comment #7, bug #54730 (project findutils):

You guys are brilliant. Here's some more:

When just one is enough:
# find /proc -name 11 -print | wc -l
178
# find /proc -name 11 -print -quit | wc -l
1

Or better yet:

Where did I put that file called "needle2"?
No reason to keep looking for more after we find it,
so we use:
$ find / -name needle2 -print -quit
