File browser search does not indicate which directory is being searched #581

Description

Problem

When the user types a query into the search box in the file browser, a search is performed and results are shown — but there is no indication of the scope of the search (i.e. which directory or root path is being searched).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a new Task in the GAIA Agent UI
  2. Click Browse Files to open the file browser
  3. Click the Search tab
  4. Type a query (e.g. exe) and press Enter
  5. Observe that results appear with no context about where they came from

Expected Behaviour

The search results view should clearly indicate the search root, e.g.:

Searching in: C:\Users\tomasz

or a breadcrumb showing the scope so the user understands what was and was not searched.

Actual Behaviour

Results appear with no scope label. The search appears to be scoped to the home directory, but this is not communicated to the user.

Impact

  • Users may assume the search covers the entire filesystem and miss or misinterpret results
  • No discoverability of search boundaries
