It's in there! Look at    c:search
The only caveat may be that this gives you perhaps more than you
want, not only the filenames. But these could probably gained with
a smart script file that invokes search with an output redirection
to ram:foo and then lets Edit filter this output for the informations
you really want. Should be manageable with provided tools.
