Description

FAL introduced some great possibilities, but on an operational level, BE search for files is suboptimal.

In the global BE search finds both entries in sys_file and sys_file_metadata, since both have searchFields defined:

sys_file: 'searchFields' => 'name, type, mime_type, sha1'
sys_file_metadata: 'searchFields' => 'file,title,description,alternative'

Finding a file (sys_file) is quite hard, since I have to know its file name. Searching for types, mime_types and the file's sha1 value do not seem to make too much sense to me. If I find it, I find an immutable file record, but there is no way to quickly get to the file itself (path is presented in the file TCA, but no link to file). It would be useful to have link here.

Likewise, finding metadata, does only show the metadata uid (some kind of title from title and/or filename would be helpful). There is no direct connection to the file other than the preview show in the form.

In file list, I can browse but not search/filter for files. This would be extremely useful, especially if you have several hundred images in a folder.
