'whereis' only looks in the ports or the location of the executable's. 
If you want to find a file you should use 'find' or locate. :

find / -name "whatever-you-re-looking-for"

or use locate, but before you can use locate you have to create the 
locate database. When you search frequently it's advisable to use locate 
since it's faster. Though wheter the results are acurate depends on the 
last time you updated your locate database so:

/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

locate whateveryourelookingfore
locate somethingelse
locate another thing
