Open enclosing folder from search results

Summary of the issue you are facing:

Is there a way to open an enclosing folder from search results?
I often find myself searching for a document solely to actually find my way to a particular subfolder, expecting there to be a “right click, open enclosing folder” option, or something like that.

It would also be fine if I could turn on a column which shows the folder path for each file.

I suspect something like this exists and I’m just not finding it, which is why I’m posting this into help rather than feature requests.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Search for a file
  2. Try to open the folder which one of the search results items is from
System info (will fill in later if requested)

Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can. :heart:
