Description

### Description

After opening a large monorepo, I thought the Open Quickly feature was broken because it took several seconds to perform a search, and there was no indication that a search was being performed in the background.

Research direction

Start by locating the Open Quickly search flow in the CodeEdit macOS app and tracing how background searches are initiated. Add a visible progress or loading indicator while a search is running, and verify that it appears during slow searches and stops when results are ready.
