Which general topic do you have

When I search using search box in the Files app, I get a list of files/directories that match my request.
However, I haven’t been able to find a way to understand where the file is located in the hierarchy of documents.
I would have expected to be able to see the path in the “Details” section, but unfortunately it isn’t so.
The only way to understand where the document is, is to actually open it.
But when the search returns a lot of documents this is clearly not an option.
Is there a quicker way to see where the doc is?

I am also interested in finding my files after a search. Like you I have the problem, that I dont know where a file is located after searching, but in my case the files can be compressed files, which cannot be opened and will download on click. Maybe it would be a nice feature if there is an additional column for searches like “Path” or just include the path in the details view.
