I have a general suggestion to the problem for Windows users. The must frequently-used, helpful, can't-do-without utility I have on my system is called Everything. In the blink of an eye it displays every file matching your specified filename search criterion.
Type <*.gnucash> in the search box (without the brackets) and you'll get every file on your system ending in .gnucash with the usual directory information: size, date modified, path, etc. Everything is not only my go-to tool to find a file when I don't remember — or failed to notice — what directory it was saved in. It's also valuable for navigating to a file when you know the location since I can usually type the file name (or enough of it) faster than I can click through the directory tree. Example: I'm looking for last month's MegaCharge credit card statement. I type "2019 Mega" and with no perceptible delay it will show me all the files on my computer that have "2019" and "Mega" in their name. (Everything indexes filename only. Content and some limited metadata searching, e.g. id3 tags, but it's not indexed and can be very slow.)

I have no connection with Everything or Void Tools except as a happy user.)
