Summary: 'Search filtering' Feature in the File application within Chrome OS is not searching within the selected folder when a search is input, it searches withing the entire 'My Drive' folder instead.
Example:
Customer opens file application within Chrome OS, then expand Google Drive and then click 'Share with me', click on the magnifying glass and input a search, instead of searching within the 'Share with me' folder it searches with 'Google Drive' cascading the search in the whole drive.
Use case / Motivation:
The customer needs to search within a specific folder and even better filter the search depending on the 'File Type' like only folder, docs, pdf, etc.
Existing workarounds:
Open Google Drive within a tab in Chrome Browser instead of using the File App.
