Along with the handy ‘Locator spell’ the ‘Binding spell’ is one of the most commonly used plot devices spells in the Buffyverse. It is used in 1.08 I Robot, You Jane (on Moloch the Corrupter), 3.03 Faith, Hope And Trick (Giles pretends he needs to do one on Acathla), 3.13 The Zeppo (on the hellmouth demon) and 6.22 Grave (used on Evil Willow by Giles). The spell is seen in Buffy’s spin-off show Angel too. In 2.20 Over The Rainbow Wesley has the idea of using a binding spell on himself, Angel and Gunn to get them into another dimension, Pylea, and in 5.07 Lineage, Wesley suggests that the pattern on a cyborg could be some kind of binding spell.

That’s also how Tara locates Willow in Bargaining.2, I think.
