title: TFS Visual Studio 2017: Search for a file by name in source control
body: <p>Our application code is spread over many dozens of folders in a nested hierarchy, and we have several hundred files making up the application. </p>
  
  <p>So I wanted to know if there is a way to search for files by their name in the Visual Studio 2017 version of TFS ?</p>
  
  <p>I spotted Q &amp; A as per: 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13251695/tfs-search-for-a-file-by-name-in-source-control">TFS: Search for a file by name in source control</a></p>
  
  <p>but this answer seems no longer applicable for TFS and Visual Studio 2017.</p>
  
  <p>I can, of course use tools outside of TFS (like the "Search Everything" app) and then navigate to the same folder and file in TFS. </p>
  
  <p>I just felt that surely there must be a way of doing this file search within TFS ?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the search option in Team Explorer but I'm not sure how to use this ... not sure if this works ?</p>
  
  <p>i.e. </p>
