SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/5Vrdso7KMgo
The dolphin search function doesn't work inside symlinks. Some considerations
need to be made so that the search function doens't accidentally start
following symbolic links after fixing this.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a directory with files
2. Create a symbolic link to that directory somewhere else
3. Enter the symbolic link
4. Use Ctrl + f to search for any of the files
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing shows up
EXPECTED RESULT
The files should show up
