In the Project View, when there are so many files, it's time consuming to collapse and expand and navigate through all the items. How can I search for files in the project?

I have searched for it online many times, but most of them explain the Ctrl + Shift + F which actually searches for terms in all the files in the current project, this is convenient but yet it's not what I'm looking for.

I want to search for actual files in the project and not terms within them. I don't know if this feature is available by default in WebStorm (which so obviously should, and don't know why many IDEs don't have it), but please mention any plugins that emulate this functionality.

To search for a file by name, try using Navigate > File or Search Everywhere (Shift+Shift, or the magnifying glass icon on the main toolbar). See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/2021.1/searching-everywhere.html#ws_search_files

Note also that the Project tool window has a quick search - just focus it and start entering the file name
