Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Search for a folder
  2. Open the folder I searched
Expected behaviour

The files in the folder should show.

Actual behaviour

The files don't show.
When I open the folder manually without the search, the files show.
After I opened the folder manually, the files also show when I search for the folder.
After restarting the app, I need to manually open the folder again.

Logs

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Because I need to search for folders and don't know the name of every file.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the iOS app's folder-search flow: search for a folder, open it, restart the app, and repeat; compare this with manually opening the folder. Trace the search-to-folder-opening entry point, and consider the issue resolved when the folder's files appear immediately after opening it from search, including after an app restart.
