Description

When accessing via browser, when trying to open a file in the search results, the browser starts high activity but no file is opened.
With the nextcloud app on a tablet everything works fine, it offers opening the pdf with any available viewer.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the browser search-result flow with the reported Nextcloud 17.0.2 and Elasticsearch 7.3.2 setup, then compare it with opening the same PDF in the tablet app. Trace why selecting a result does not open a file; done means browser users can open the PDF with an available viewer.
