One of the main take-aways (clickable breadcrumb folders) is already present in both Windows and OS X. In Windows, the current path is represented as a series of clickable buttons, including dropdowns to the right of each folder to show their contents. You can also click to the right of the path to convert it back to text form. The new path bar was by far one of my favorite features of Windows 7, and I use it every day at work where I still have to use a Windows PC.
In OS X, you have the path bar, though it's not very obvious that you can double click each path element. You can also right-click or control-click the folder name on the title bar to get a menu of the path hierarchy.
As for the other point, searching paths, I can personally see that being very useful, but most people expect that a search in a file manager will, you know, search for files. This would introduce a jarring discrepancy.
