Hi,

For the original ede project types, such as the ones that generate or 
read Automake files, EDE knows all the files and where they are if they 
are being compiled into your program.

For ede-cpp-root, it has no list of files to use, so it will only really 
search in the current directory or include path.  The include path is 
key since it is needed for smart completion.

If you would like to use ede-find-file for general file discovery, you 
can integrate in an external tool such as GNU Global, or idutils as a 
backend database for both files.  You could also enable the use of your 
system's 'locate' command.

Customize ede-locate-setup-options to include whichever tool you would 
like to use, and then it should work as desired.
