Feature: Add search filters

[cinqmilleans]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
It is not possible to filter the search results.

Describe the solution
Use a menu to filter results.
This menu, visible after the searchbar, show the filters (date, size, extension, picture, video, ...)
This menu will require research to be complete but simple, practical and beautiful.

Capability	Priority
Show when a search is open	Must
Apply changes with a refresh	Must

Additional comment
I created a pull request that implements a minimal menu to better show the concept #4812.

@cinqmilleans Will the option always be visible, or only when the user searches something?

[cinqmilleans]

Only when the user searches something, to keep the ui as simple as possible.

[yaira2]

@cinqmilleans I noticed you mentioned that the user will need to do the search again, is there a way we can apply the filter without the user doing the search again?

[cinqmilleans]

Not yet, but it's a good idea to add. We should keep the search bar open on the results page.

@cinqmilleans This issue has been approved, would you like me to assign it to you?

[cinqmilleans]

@yaichenbaum yes, thanks you.

[yaira2]

@cinqmilleans Btw, instead of showing the filter option next to the path box, it should be in the toolbar underneath it.

@yaichenbaum Here is a presentation project for the search menu.

When

• A day/week/month/year ago
• Custom (display inputs from/to)

Where

• In the current folder
• In the current drive
• In all drives
• Custom (display multi-folder selector)

What

• file/document/picture/audio/video/custom
• This choice add implicit filter and display others options

File

• Includes folders ?
• Size (<1Kb, <1Kb, custom, ...)

Document

• Only document (txt, pdf, word, excel, libreoffice, ...)
• type with icons (pdf, ...)

Picture

• Only picture
• Multiselector type with icons (jpg, gif, bmp, ...)
• Resolution (small/medium/big/custom)
• Shooting date

Audio

• Only audio ...
• Artist

Video

• Only video

Custom

• All filters in a list (size, modification, ...)

I am waiting for a return of this principle before implementation.

@mdtauk do you have any ideas for this design?

[mdtauk]

Search results in a sidebar with a collapsible/expandable search input/filter panel makes sense to me.

The ability to pin the search sidebar open, and to hide it of needed also.

@mdtauk The search results don't show in a sidebar, this issue is regarding a flyout to adjust the filters...
