Description

Feature Description:

VSCode supports a title on the tree search box that states how many items in the tree match the query out of the total number of candidates:

At the moment, a similar title is hard to supply for our tree because the data handling infrastructure doesn't make those numbers readily available (see discussion here).

Research direction
Examine the discussion in PR #9005 (https://github.com/eclipse theia/theia/pull/9005#discussion r573236296) to understand why match counts are not readily available. Then identify how to compute the number of matching items and total candidates in the tree search box. Implement a title display similar to VSCode.
