add a way to expand all subtree items in a Search View

[pagict]

Hello, I would like to have a feature that can expand all items of a subtree in Search View.

In some projects while LSP works not so well, I often use Find (with Match-Whole-Word) to help jump between defintion, implementation and references.

The search result list could be very long. Usually I View-As-Tree, and collapse all to quick narrow the scope. When navigate to some subtree, expand the subitems under the tree, this could be faster to see all results.

I noticed that there is an option "Restrict Search in Folder", but it is not viable if multiple folders in a same hierarchy.

The suggested option could make the goal within just a few clicks.

Verification steps

1. search for something and view as tree using this button:

2. collapse all of the results and try using expand recursively to expand the node.

3. All nested nodes should get expanded.
