I am usig Linux Ubuntu 11.10 and I totally agree with that! This should
be fixed, because it would improve the system software and make it
easier to find files . :D

Title:
  No reliable way to get file path after searching files

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
