There is no indication once the unified search is closed that the file list is filtered

So in theory there is, but it might not be as visible as it used to be

Fixed the problem with the broken "No entries in this folder" message

Before	After

Switching between file lists might need to be handled with special care so that the search query gets updated on all file lists

So yeah, it doesn't work fully, but it is better than on 19. On 19 the search box is emptied and visible but the filter is still applied, giving you even more headache :P

From my POV this is already a huge step forward and should be merged + backported.
Fixing the filter to work completely across pages in all cases can be done later

Fixes #23432

I'll be leaving the follow up points for later as I agree with @nickvergessen that this is already a huge step forward and the old implementation had similar flaws when switching the file list:

• There is no indication once the unified search is closed that the file list is filtered
• Switching between file lists might need to be handled with special care so that the search query gets updated on all file lists

Diff in case it might be useful to make sure that newly initialized filelists also have the filter, but there are some sideeffects when it comes to the loading indicator:

 import { subscribe } from '@nextcloud/event-bus'
 
+let searchQuery = ''
+subscribe('nextcloud:unified-search.search', ({ query }) => {
+       searchQuery = query ?? ''
+});
+
 (function() {
 
        const FilesPlugin = {
                attach(fileList) {
+                       // Initialize the file list with the current query in case there was a search before switching to the list
+                       fileList.setFilter(searchQuery)
+
                        subscribe('nextcloud:unified-search.search', ({ query }) => {
                                fileList.setFilter(query)
                        })
