Description
cloud 1: general cloud with user files containing folders with 20 k files. fulltextsearch enabled.
cloud 2: general cloud on a separate nextcloud instance with public files. fulltextsearch apps disabled.
cloud 3 to 13: user clouds. Each user has a separate account and is member to group called "generic".
Folders in cloud 1 and cloud 2 are shared to the "generic" group (using the federation feature of Nextcloud) and visible to users.
Files are fully searchable by logging in as a cloud 1 or 2 account but could not be found in user clouds. Interestingly, files in the main folder of the shares were found but not in subfolders. Re-indexing doesn't help.
I am not sure if this is related to #250 and that is why I opened a new issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with federated shares from cloud 1 and cloud 2, comparing searches from those accounts with searches from the user clouds. Check whether re-indexing includes files in nested shared folders, since only files in the shares' main folders are found. Done means files in subfolders of federated shares are returned by fulltextsearch from user clouds.
