I tried exactly that (well, it is a recursive call but not very
difficult) however it doesn't work because get_children() is not
implemented:

Yep, that would work but I can live with the recursive solution shown
above it is implemented. In general it is only useful for nodes that can
have children like modules and groups.

I figured that out and now you can only select groups (e.g. directories)
in the find in files dialog which seems reasonable for now.
