Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through the Command Palette search entry point on Windows 10, searching for a file and applying the file or folder filter. Trace the Command Palette search and filter handling to determine why the selected filter has no effect. Done means folder-only and file-only searches return only the corresponding result type, with regression coverage if the subsystem has tests.
