[Launchpad Bug Tracker <914369@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I open a Home Folder window and search for a file using the search
box at top right, there is no reliable way to discover the path of the
objects that the searcher found.

I can't see the path no matter what view I select.

I can't right-click and select anything that lets me open the parent
folder of the item. (In Windows 7, it's called "Open file location".)

SOMETIMES I can get the path if I right-click and select Properties, but
if the path is too long, it's truncated, ending with an ellipsis (...).

We need a clear way to get the path of items in case we want to do
something that's not feasible with the options available in the search
results.
