Adding a search field to Jfilechooser

I created a JFileChooser and I need to add search functionality when a user browses a specific folder to find a specific file with ease, so the JFilechooser should have a text box where the user can type and filter other files in the given directory. How can I achieve this in java?

Here is my sample code that implements viewing the main files.

  JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
        FileNameExtensionFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("Excell File Only", "csv");
        chooser.setFileFilter(filter);
        int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
        if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            if (chooser.getSelectedFile() != null) {
                path.setText(chooser.getSelectedFile().getName());



            }}
