Answer 1

That is not available OOB because it is likely to cause performance issues. Nevertheless, you can create such functionality yourself:

1. Implement a custom FileSystemContentProvider, overriding the ResolveDirectoryAsTree() and ResolveDirectory() methods in the way, described in this help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer-custom-filebrowsercontentprovider.html

2. Call recursively the ResolveDirectoryAsTree() and ResolveDirectory() methods from your content provider in order to take references to all listed files and folders (e.g. base.ResolveDirectoryAsTree()). Once you gather all the needed data to one place you can make a search through the items in it. Despite of the accuracy of such an implementation, note that this information-gathering would be a slow process, and you might meet performance issues.

You can find more detailed information regarding the custom commands in the following help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer-add-custom-button-context-menu-item.html

There may be other ways to get this done, but I do not know them.
