 * Is it possible to search for a file if I’m in the root directory and want to 
   find a file that file which lives in a sub-directory. Can I search and find it
   from the root?

 * The search field searches the files in the table using javascript. It does not
   perform a search on the server. If you make your table recursive, then subdirectory
   files will be searchable, because they’ll be in the table.

 * Thank you Mr. Stark. Is this something I do via a selection process? As mentioned,
   I’ll gladly donate for continued development of this plugin.

 * It’s not a matter of money, but of lack of time to implement a big new feature
   like this. Possibly in the future.
