Suggestion #156

Just install Full Text Search and Elastic Search...

The efficiency of the search engine is really Great... absolutely nothing to say about that ...

But the User Interface could have a little liftup !!!

When file Path are long, visually, it became difficult to understand (See this screenshot)

Also, could have some option to determine how much result we want to show per page ...

Visually, the icons for the document type (PDF, docx, Excel) could be interesting... Depending on the search of the user, it can help spotting faster what he's looking for...

Actually, when clicking on a search result, it bring us in the folder where the file belong... That can be an interesting behavior, but often the client will want to open it directly... Maybe have an option with the filename to decide to go to the folder or open the file directly....

These are some suggestion to make it more user friendly... But sincerely, the core part of doing the Full text Search is really impressive and fast !
