This is a quite helpful script. I did a slight modification to use a generic "locate" command. I'm using mlocate which is slocate compatible. I simply added another else-if statement for the "locate" command and everything is working fine.

Edit the block of conditions that starts at line 24 so that it looks like:

if executable("slocate")
   let s:slocate_app         = "slocate"
elseif executable("rlocate")
   let s:slocate_app         = "rlocate"
elseif executable("locate")
   let s:slocate_app         = "locate"
else
   finish
endif
