Add Content to Virtual Channel - List View

Currently to add content to a virtual channel manually you have to search and wait for thumbnails to load with limited text information provided below them. I am curious if an alternative view could be enabled that listed search results in a text only format. I understand the benefit of a thumbnail image but in many instances I find myself hunting for a file that could be easily spotted from a standard list. In my mind the interface could work similarly to any other file manager where you have the option to switch between a thumbnail view or a list view.
