    All of them.

That response is too cryptic to communicate any meaning.
As far as I can see, all the files in `term' are for specific
terminal types or else loaded based on the window system type,
and `term' is always explicitly specified for these files.
There is no need for them to be found in searches
for file names with no directory specified.
