If you know the name of the file, you can use the Open Resource dialog (Navigate > Open Resource, or CTRL + Shift + R).

If you do not know the name of the file but know (at least some of) the contents, you can use the File Search dialog (Search > File, or CTRL + H then select the "File Search" tab).

Edit-->Find does not search for files, it searches for text. Click on the button in your toolbar that looks like a little Flashlight, then select "File Search".
