[Feature request] Search feature #2

Description

@X-Ryl669

I've just found this application in the store and it's very great.
There is one feature I'm missing from the other file manager to use this one only, and it's the find file feature.
There are 2 kinds of file finding, one is to search for a file (or part of the file name) recursively.
The other is filtering a huge file list so it only displays the file whose name match what the user entered.
I'm asking for the later version, since on very large folder, it's a real pain to scroll (and you can't just pick the scroll thumb and hold it, it's too small).
So basically, the idea would be to:

  1. Have another button in the toolbar (or in the menu, since it's not a frequent operation), called "Find..." or "Filter...".
  2. Pop up a text input dialog box to let the user enter some search term
  3. Filter the currently displayed list to only show the file whose name contains the text entered by the user

Even better, the find bar could be under the address bar (invisible by default) so when the user modify it, it updates in realtime.

Anyway, thank you so much for this application, it's very cool!
