Design a File Search and Directory Traversal System
Design and implement a file search system that can traverse directory structures and locate files based on various criteria. The solution should incorporate object-oriented programming principles, support extensible filtering mechanisms, and be optimized for performance. Consider implementing algorithms like DFS or BFS for traversal, and discuss scalability considerations for adding new search filters and optimizations such as byte-level operations.
