Description

Hound is super simple to deploy, but hundreds of repos to search through it gets quite hard to parse. I suggest having a view to "minimize" the repo names where matches were found and let the user expand them?

Research direction
Examine the current search results UI in Hound's frontend code (likely in the static HTML/JS files). Understand how repository names and matches are displayed. Review the 5 comments on this issue for any prior discussion or suggestions. Propose a design for a collapsible tree view that groups results by repository, and consider using an existing javascript tree component. The implementation should modify the result rendering logic to add expand/collapse functionality.
