A "working directory" is just a piece of your local filesystem, so you
can certainly search in that. Searching in the repository
itself... maybe via WebDAV? I haven't tried that.

That's not a source control issue but rather a Makefile (or
equivalent) issue. If you change one file, that one file is changed.
If your build system is correctly designed, only the bits dependent on
that one file will rebuild.
