When opening a GridFS bucket by expanding the "GridFS Buckets" folder in the open connections tree and double-clicking on a bucket, an uninterruptible query immediately begins and there is no way to stop it. For collections with millions of files, this can take a really long time (many minutes) when all you want to do is find a file by Id or Filename (both default indexed fields). Once the tab finally completes the initial query, searching by id or filename is quick as expected.

I am aware that I can open the bucket's ".files" underlying collection and just query that way by the above mentioned (or other) fields but it lacks the ability to download the file from that view which is why it's important to be able to use the GridFS Buckets view.
