Research direction

Start by reproducing the search failure in a local network SMB folder on Amaze File Manager version 3.10, then compare it with search in internal storage, where search works. Trace the search entry point and SMB-specific path to identify why normal, indexed, and deep searches return no results; done means an existing SMB file is found by each applicable search mode.
