 Now we have using Code mirror for updating theme/plugin files. We have
 also create a directory tree of theme & plugin files.

 It is hard to search the file in the given directory tree. So, File search
 filed is useful to search particular file. This patch search `file name` &
 `file extensions` too.

 For reference, the files "tree" was introduced in [41851], see #24048.

Comment:

 @Mahesh901122 and @dilipbheda thanks for the patch! Looks like an
 interesting proposal! Discussed a bit during today's accessibility team
 bug-scrub, and probably this is something the UI team would like to
 consider. A couple accessibility things:
 - the search field misses a label
 - this kind of filtering with suggestions should be made accessible
 following the pattern already used in core for similar cases, see for
 example the links suggestions and the tags suggestions
