 * Is there a way to search within the base directories for files? It seems the 
   only use of the search bar is to search what you currently see, but would be 
   nice if you could search within the nested directories. Is this something that
   can be implemented?

 * I am also interested to know the answer of this question. When we search, it 
   only search through current directory files. Is it possible to search through
   subdirectories too? Thank you.
