    I would like to see an option added to have the Hierarchy object open immediately after a search in the Hierarchy.

    Here is Example, When Hierarychy is structured like this
    hierarchy.jpg


    This is what happens when you search for 'next' with the current behavior.

    The behavior I would like is to open and focus on the appropriate part of the hierarchy immediately after searching for 'next'. As follows.
    searchfor_next.jpg


    If there are more than two search results, switch sequentially to the next one each time you press Enter in the Hierarchy search field, or
    Open all the structures leading up to the relevant part of the page.
    For example, if you search for '2', do the following
    searchfor_2.jpg
