Description
- use unified search
- see above "conversations" as last provider
- one does not know that other, e.g. files search provider is still queried
Suggestion, found together with @AlvaroBrey, is to show in footer:
"Search results for files, messages are pending".
This is then changed once there is a result of those providers: ether show provider's result or update footer.
In the end footer is then not shown.

Reproduce the unified search flow shown in the issue and trace where provider loading status reaches the results footer; no files or tests are named. Implement a pending-provider indication for providers such as files and messages, update it as results arrive, and remove the footer when all providers have responded.
