Description
Steps to reproduce
- folder with ~15k files
- open it in the app
- it’s empty
- search for e.g. dog
- files like dog1.png dog2.png are now permanently visible in the folder, but the rest is still missing
Expected behaviour
the other files should eventually show up, without me abusing the search function
Actual Behavior
Both the App in the Files App only show files i explicitly searched for before
related #1688, #845
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
bad ux

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the iOS app with a folder containing about 15,000 files, then review related issues #1688 and #845 for context. Done means the folder eventually displays all files without requiring each file to be found through search.
