Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Have "Files-Fulltextsearch" enabled on the server
  2. Unified search then returns also documents which are containing the search term (not only where the term is in the file name)
  3. The IOS search does not return these
Expected behaviour

The marked files are containing the search term and are shown in the web search:

Actual behaviour

The files found above are not listed in the app (which they should in the unified search)

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Unified search in the app should show all results which the unified search shows in the web browser.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the iOS app with Files-Fulltextsearch enabled on the server, then compare the app's unified-search results with the web search. Trace the iOS search entry point responsible for displaying unified results. Done means files found by full-text search are also listed in the app.
