Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
The context menu doesn't contain a "Show in folder" option when searching for files.
It does have this option in every other category though.
Steps to reproduce
- Search for a file
- Click on the three dots or do a right-click on a file search result
- There is no option to show the file in the containing folder
Expected behavior
There should be an option to show the file in the containing folder.
Just like in the categories "Latest", "Personal Data" or "Shares".
