Description
Currently we get via search api specific informations regarding share, e.g. share with, shared date, expiration date.
To display those shares we get the additional regular file informations like, mimeType, eTag, isFavorite,...
We can fetch these in android via one fetch for each file, but this is not the best approach.
Is it possible to extend the search api in this way?

Research direction
Start by tracing the server-side search API and how it currently returns share information. Compare that response with the regular file information needed by Android, including mimeType, eTag, and isFavorite. Done means the search API can return both share details and the requested regular file fields without a separate fetch for each file.
