The simplest way (which I'm sure you've already tried, but hey, let me add it to the thread anyway) is to enter abc.dmg into the search box on the top right of any finder window, then select 'File Name' from the options on the Search Bar that appears. No need for the terminal. Also remember that Spotlight only indexes directories specified in the Spotlight control panel and abc.dmg may not be in one of those directories. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the find command needs to know what to output: find / -name abc.dmg -print.should print any results to the terminal (including permission errors).
The Preview app on Mac opens PDF files and image documents, and also allows for the easiest way to search PDF files for contextual term matches on a Mac.
If you don't want permission errors and want to search other User directories then: sudo find / -name abc.dmg -print.
