solution for issue #12139

Solves the problem when you want to search in folder with thousands of files and the search freezes.

My arguments from #12065 (comment) are still valid here.

Input from @nextcloud/designers is very welcome.

@Studna95 Don't get me wrong: I really like that you contribute something 👍 I just want to have it fixed properly, because in this way it is basically only fixed for you and for nobody else, because nobody else will configure this special item. So I would love to go one step back and check what the actual problem is. In the meantime you can use your fix on your machine and work around the problems you described until we have a real solution to the problem.

Same here. As I said in #12139 (comment)

Agree with @MorrisJobke – this is a technical issue which needs to be properly fixed. A configuration option makes no sense here since then everyone would have to fix it for themselves. ;)

So how do we continue here? @rullzer @MorrisJobke we don’t want to add a setting, so we have to reject the pull request in its current form. @Studna95 sorry again about this – maybe we come up with a better solution?

I would suggest closing and directly fix the files list implementation

[jancborchardt]

@skjnldsv sounds good! If you have further pointers for @Studna95 if they want to work on that, let them know :)
