Insert File Finder into Thunar's File menu (it could simply launch File Finder as a standalone app in the actual folder).

Having a "file finder" or "file filter" on your Thunar window is a huge advantage for a user. For example, if you download a file .mp3 and then open your "Download" folder it would be much easier to identify that file if you could restrict Thunar to show only .mp3 files. As it has been mentioned earlier, Win and Mac do the same, why can't Xubuntu? Thanks.
