Description

Current result styling uses a lot of grey backgrounds and italic/slanted text. We rarely use grey backgrounds and never use italic text.

The search result view should match however the normal app view looks. In Files, it reduces the file list to the results. In Mail and Contacts, it reduces the messages/contact list to the results and so on.

Research direction

Start by comparing the search result view with the normal app views described for Files, Mail, and Contacts. Check how each view presents its reduced list, then confirm that search results use the same styling without grey backgrounds or italic text.
