    When and IDz user is trying to select files within the DBB user build wizard for the "Additional files to load" page for files to be loaded to the build sandbox requires users to scroll down to manually find and select the required elements.
    For big (500+ file) projects and repositories, this is a time consuming and error-prone activity. It would be an improvement for the DBB wizard on this page to provide a search facility to perform a file search to augment the selections.

    Currently, there's no member search capability on the z/OS projects perspective and the DBB member selection panel when Configuring Dependency Bases builds. Users have to manually scroll down to find the required members.

    This is time-consuming and inconvenient.

    Having the member search capability will greatly improve the usability of these features.
