Body: <p>Most of our websites use a main structure for the page tree. In some cases, those structures can become quite large and entries further down are not shown initially without scrolling down/autoloading. This is annoying, especially it has to be done again and again when you reopen the structure overview.</p>
  <p>For me some changes / additions could improve the situation:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Have a setting that forces only level 1 entries to be shown, the others are closed.</li>
  <li>Alternatively have a button to close all level 2 and deeper subtrees.</li>
  <li>and maybe remember search terms when leaving the overview and coming back.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>What are your thoughts on this?</p>

  Most of our websites use a main structure for the page tree. In some cases, those structures can become quite large and entries further down are not shown initially without scrolling down/autoloading. This is annoying, especially it has to be done again and again when you reopen the structure overview.
  
  For me some changes / additions could improve the situation:
  
  * Have a setting that forces only level 1 entries to be shown, the others are closed.
  * Alternatively have a button to close all level 2 and deeper subtrees.
  * and maybe remember search terms when leaving the overview and coming back.
  
  What are your thoughts on this?
