Sometimes I know a file is not so deep away, but a very dense sub-directory does not allow me to find the files I want easily.
Can find (or any other tool) look for files using breadth-first search?

Yes, sort of.
You can use the
-depthoption to make it process a directory’s contents before the directory itself. You can also use the-maxdepthoption to limit how many directories down it will drill.
