Limited Transaction details with BTCEXP_ELECTRUM_TXINDEX=true #696
Description
I'm not 100% sure if this is a bug or working as designed, but I can't find any documentation to clarify if it is or not, so I'm assuming it is a bug. I have set BTCEXP_ELECTRUM_TXINDEX=true as well as BTCEXP_ADDRESS_API=electrum and BTCEXP_ELECTRUM_SERVERS=tcp://127.0.0.1:50001 in my .env file. I am assuming that that is a drop in replacement for having the txindex enabled in Bitcoin Core, and all the same features should still work. However I do not seem to be able to access transaction details. The Transaction Stats and UTXO Set pages seems to be working fine.
Environment:
- Bitcoin Core / Node Version: 270200 (/Satoshi:27.2.0/)
- Electrs Version: v0.10.4
- NodeJS Version: 9.2.0
- Browser: Firefox
- Code Version / Commit: v3.4.0
- Installation Method: Source Code

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to any transaction details. I usually search a wallet address, then click on a transaction.
- Fee Rate, Total Fee, and Input output details are unavailable
- Hovering over Free Rate or Total Fee displays: "Determining the fee of confirmed transactions requires txindex to be enabled"
Similarly, searching for a transaction ID directly, displays the following error: "No results found for query: Your node does not have txindex enabled. Without it, you can only lookup wallet, mempool, and recently confirmed transactions by their txid. Searching for non-wallet transactions that were confirmed more than 3 blocks ago is only possible if the confirmed block height is available."
Expected behavior: When using BTCEXP_ELECTRUM_TXINDEX=true instead of Bitcoin Core's txindex, retain the ability to search txids, pull up details about fees, etc...
Screenshots or Log Output
When searching for a wallet address in BTC RPC Explorer, Electrs generates this in its log:
