Description
The fulltext search application (working with the help of Elasticsearch engine) is not working correctly with the Nextcloud Android app. Specifically, it provides the results of the search, but:
- the search takes too long comparing with the desktop client and almost never ends
- the found documents do not contain preview of folders/files
- not possible to open the documents from the search results by clicking/typing over it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Elasticsearch-backed fulltext search from the Nextcloud Android app and comparing it with the desktop client. Investigate the three reported symptoms: slow or incomplete searches, missing file and folder previews, and search results that cannot be opened. Done means Android search completes promptly, shows previews, and opens selected documents.
