Enhance ACS SQL Scripts to add filter (or find) for text in name or text inside .SQL files

Developers often have to locate something they previously wrote. When opening a PC file, you have the ability to select a folder but not the ability to filter names or find text in files under that folder.  It would be helpful to have Filter (as is seen on IFS file open, which filters by file names) or FIND to search the files for a text value within the files in the selected folder.  An example might be: when seeking to locate the use of a file such as SYSDUMMY1 within a whole bunch of SQL scripts under MyDocs folder.  Or, to locate previously create scripts that reference a Create or Replace Table  command to copy the syntax. Yes, you could get that from Examples, but not for YOUR table name or library... Thank you

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers.  CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    A common feature in File Dialogs is to enter a pattern in the filename and press Open / Select.

    This also works in ACS Run SQL Scripts PC file dialog.

    I know it does not allow finding text inside SQL files, but at least you get some of the way.

    Best regards,
