Search file in an unexpanded directory

[sumeetsk]

Asked question here https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/59874/search-file-within-neotree-in-an-unexpanded-directory, repeating below.

The normal search only searches in the visible parts i.e., within directories that have been expanded. I am looking for a feature where it would search within all directories and expand a directory if needed.

For example, consider the folder structure

A > B > C

A > D > C

where A, B, C, D are folder names. When I open neotree, suppose that B and D are folded. Now if I search for C, I would like the fold of B to be opened and the cursor to jump to C. If I hit next, it should open D and the cursor should jump to C within D.

This is a cool idea and could be a helpful feature. I'll add it to the list of new experimental features for the backlog.
