Who would benefit
Anyone searching for images
Proposed solution
"View flat" option with standard maximum of 50/100/200 files while keeping original search string (e.g. "horse"): while searching for files, allow viewing all files in a category that has sub-categories, even though some files may be in multiple sub-categories.
