Description
Storage Explorer Version: 1.8.1
Platform/OS: Windows 10
Bug Description
There are at least two operations that reset the cached files list without reason or warning.
Steps to Reproduce
When I work in large folders, I often tediously click through 10-20 times the "Load More..." button until i have every file cached so I can sort by size or timestamp. However, the following operations reset the cache without warning:
- Searching for a file name
- Clicking 'Refresh'
Expected Experience
I would not expect the search field to reset the cached file list.
I would assume the Refresh button requests only a delta
Actual Experience
The file cache is reset and all clicks to the "Load More..." Button were in vain.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Storage Explorer 1.8.1 on Windows 10, using a large folder and the Load More, search, and Refresh operations. Trace how search and Refresh handle the cached file list; done means the loaded list is not unnecessarily discarded and the behavior is covered by verification.
