Hide folders without filter results in live filter

Can this functionality be implemented utilising API?
Possibly. I have not checked the API much.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using the filter command still lists folders that don't have filter results in them anyway and by default collapses folders.
This makes it hard to find the files that I actually am intending to find with a filter.

Describe the solution you'd like
A similar experience to neo-tree's filtering. (see screenshot)

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried setting always_show_folders = false but when I do, it will then only filter the current directory and not look for deeper directories.

I apologize if this is something already talked about here in the issues. I've tried to look around but can't sift through the lots of issues to find this use case. Please guide me to that thread if it is already existing.

Start by reproducing the live filter behavior in the file explorer, including the interaction between recursive filtering and always_show_folders = false. Compare the current result with the described neo-tree behavior and determine how folders with no matching files should appear. Done means filtering shows only relevant folders while still finding matches in deeper directories.
