Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We are using Boundary's native credential management capability wherein we are creating a dummy target and adding multiple brokered credentials (from a static credential store) to it. When we go to Boundary Desktop application and try to connect to the target in order to view the credentials, we see below challenges when it comes to user experience:

1. You just see maximum 3-4 credentials and for seeing rest of credentials, you will have to scroll a lot. Imagine a target with 50-100 credentials.
2. In case of 50-100 credentials, it becomes so difficult to search for a particular credential. Ctrl + F doesn't work on the application.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. The user interface can be made more compact which shows almost 15-20 credentials on first shot proceeded with a scroll bar for next credentials.
2. There should be an option for searching a particular credential from the list.

Describe alternatives you've considered We have scenarios where in a credential store has more than 200 credential and we have already broken them down to 2 credential stores instead of 1 (with 100 credentials each)

Explain any additional use-cases As of now, for this use-case, we have created 2 personas.

1. Password Administrators create credentials in credential store and map them to a target using Boundary UI
2. Password Users can view the credentials from Desktop Application. We are interested to see if there is a possibility of have one interface (either UI or desktop app) for both reading and writing credentials.

Additional context Version 1.7.0 of Boundary Desktop Application being used for Windows.
