How to access the sageTV 7 media file browser?

Every once in a while, there's a file (or files in a directory) I'd like to playback that's not in my normal Import folders. With the old sageTV STV version 3, I was able to Select Media Center from the main menu and then select Browse Media Files to access local media files on the server (or anywhere else). I also could do this via SageMC as well. I've looked and looked, but cant find how to do this in sageTV 7's default STV. I looked under Videos\Folders, but didn't see any way to open a file browser. If anyone knows where to find the media file browser in sageTV 7, please post here.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Yeah, it seems like an odd place to put this feature since it has nothing to do with searching. But, I guess it's better to put it there than 3 levels deep; like some of the other commonly used features in sageTV 7's default STV. Man, I sure do miss dynamic menus!
