Title:
  Dash file search doesn't provide sufficient information to distinguish
  between files with the same name

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If a Dash search returns multiple files with the same name, there is
  no way to determine which is the one you actually wanted (short of
  opening each one in turn, or selecting "Show in Folder" from each
  Preview).

  To solve this, it should be possible to find out the full path of each
  file, or at least the name of its containing directory, without
  leaving the Dash.  Ideally this would be possible without having to
  make any additional clicks, for example the currently highlighted file
  could have its (truncated) path displayed, rather than just its
  filename.  Alternatively (or additionally) the Preview for each file
  could show its full path.
