I’m going to guess that I am the one that didn’t mind the old search behavior (search for a file and then click it to go to the folder and put it in the center of the page). I don’t really mind that much it now tries to download or open the file in the an editor (e.g, unrecognized extension gets downloaded whereas txt gets opened).
But the old behavior was preferable.
Is this feature configurable? I can’t seem to find any docs or references and the behavior changed when I upgraded to the latest (from NC 20?? to NC 22Pretty sure).
Thanks
Now at “22.2.0”

Not currently configurable as a behavior. Seems like it was done as a better flow, but I filed an enhancement request and we will see.
Leave this here in case someone else feels the same and they can vote it up, but search field scroll to versus search filed open selection

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Actually, the implementation of this feature: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/7874#issue-288737043 / Open files directly from "search result in another folder" instead of using scrollto
**Describe the solution you'd like**
To make search behavior configurable, choose whether it opens/downloads the file or scrolls to in the share.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
None. Users have to suck it up.
**Additional context**
Don't think there are any. I get why the new feature was created and it makes sense, but removing existing functionality like this was an ugly surprise (and I have looked for configuration options to see if it is there, there is a possibility it was missed)>
