How to modify a file that is not present in a child theme

Hi,

I would like to add thumbnails to search results as described here: #249161.

I had tried this before and it works perfectly.

I have just installed a child theme that was submitted by mensmaximus here #773385 to cope with the new woocommerce and enfold product gallery issue. However, the files that require modification are not yet in my child theme. Do I copy the php file (in this case loop-search.php) to my child theme? and if so, do the file locations in the child theme all have to match the parent theme?

Thank you.
