Using that database is suggesting that for *my particular case* "find" may be more appropriate as I'm only interested in files and directories under /home/ richard . It would be even better if hidden files and directories were ignored.

locate can handle regular expressions, for example:

$ locate -r '^/home/richard/'

lists all sub-directories and files in  /home/richard/

but BUT *BUT*  ;/
locate NOT suitable for *MY* usage, database requires _refreshing_
