Hello,

First of all, thank you for this great extension! 🙏 It makes daily work with multiple FTP servers much easier.

I would like to request a feature that would really improve productivity:

Request: Add the possibility to search for files by name inside already opened / cached folders in the side panel.

I don’t need (and don’t want) a full recursive search across the whole FTP server (which can be very heavy).
I just want to quickly find and open a file within the folders that I have already opened and cached in the tree view.

Example: inside a folder /ajax/ I have many files like ajax_tabella.php, ajax_form.php, etc. Instead of scrolling through a long list, I’d like to type a part of the filename and quickly open it.

Benefits: Much faster navigation in large folders.
Reduces manual scrolling.
Keeps the extension lightweight, since it only searches among already listed files (no server-wide queries).

Thank you for considering this! 🚀
