Description
Posted in Files - Fulltextsearch as well here.
NC 18.0.1
Ubuntu 18.04
Full text search 1.4.1
Full text search - Elasticsearch Platform 1.5.0
Full text search - Files 1.4.1
Full text search - Files - Tesseract OCR 1.4.0
On the search results page, we used to be able to click on the three dot menu and have a download option. Now, it only allows "Go to Folder".
Due to a number of these folders have over 100k documents, this is not usable. Why was this feature removed?

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reading the linked Files - Fulltextsearch issue and reproducing the search-results page with the listed Nextcloud versions, then trace the three-dot menu and its available actions. Done means confirming whether download can be restored for search results without requiring users to open folders containing over 100k documents.
