The documentation on find's key usage on trunk is admittedly sparse.
The gist of it is that you can tell DBIx::Class about your unique
constraints (or unique keys).  Then find and friends will search on
columns matching those in the unique constraints.

Note also that the algorithm in the current development releases is
improved:
