I found this in the documentation…  
[https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…les/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BlueprintAPI/FileUtils/FindFiles/index.html)

but I cannot find it anywhere in blueprints in order to use it. I really need the functionality of this node, and will have to build it again in c++ if it’s been removed.

I know this is nearly a year old, but I ran into the same thing with not being able to find the node. You need to go to your plugins settings and enable the ‘Blueprint File Utilities’ plugin. Can be found under Built-In\>Blueprints. Hope this helps someone else also searching for it.
