Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current search results implementation does not provide any utility other than opening one of the found files.

Image

Describe the solution you'd like
The search results should open in a normal file listing, allowing you to select, rename, delete files as any other file panel and should not go away after taking action on any result.

Describe alternatives you've considered
You can take a look on how search results are implemented in Solid File Explorer as an example.

Research direction

Start by locating the current search-results implementation and reviewing how Solid File Explorer presents search results. Check the existing file-panel selection and action flows, then make search results support selection, rename, and delete operations without dismissing the results; verify that the behavior matches a normal file listing.
