Description
Users may search across Nextcloud web UI by clicking over the lens icon. The results are provided in a narrow bar, which gives a long list of data divided into sections, which may be difficult to read, especially, if Elasticsearch is turned on.
One of the suggestions is to create a special page with search results, where users may see the search output in a more convenient form, sorted by files, events, contacts, maps, photos etc, and provide additional filters to work with the data like modern search engine have outputs. Additionally I suggest to extend the search input field to make it wider.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Nextcloud web UI search flow and how results are presented when Elasticsearch is enabled. Define the scope for a dedicated results page, category-based output, additional filters, and a wider search field; done should mean these requirements are implemented in a usable, consistent search experience.
