Search and open a file by entering a keyword

Basically I want the user to open a previously saved file. I wish for my program to create a userform that asks "what file would you like to open" and I would like the user to only have to type in a keyword to search for the file. Is this possible?

Yes with sql query it is possible.
Or with fso it is possible.
