Description
### Enhancement Summary
#7679 hides folder hierarchy during search so all results are shown at a single level with no indication of folder levels.
This issue requests a checkbox (the state of which is saved in the config for user convenience) that allows folder hierarchy of files to be seen during search.
### Implementation Details / Mockup
Checkbox for the search bar in the sidebar file explorer for "Show folders in search".
State of this checkbox saved to .lmmsrc.xml so users don't have to re-enable it repeatedly if they need it.

Research direction
Start by locating the sidebar file explorer search entry point and the existing behavior introduced by #7679. Trace how the search checkbox state could be represented in .lmmsrc.xml, then verify that enabling it preserves folder hierarchy during search and that the saved preference is restored.
