Public bug reported:

Sometimes it can be difficult to sort through search results[1], but it
is easier if you know where is the location of the item that you're
looking for. Using search to get to it instead of clicking and scrolling
a lot is a more efficient way to do this, but this can become difficult
if you've got several triggers that are named the same yet are in
different groups and thus are for completely different things.

One way Mudlet could help out there is to show breadcrumbs[2] on the
search results: both as tooltips and as an extra column at the end
(remember columns are user-reorganizable which is superbly helpful).

When the breadcrumb is shown as a tooltip, it could show the patn of the
parent down to the element in text either as an XPath, so:

svo/svo Bashing Triggers/Ablaze

Or a more user-friendly format of:

svo > svo Bashing Triggers > Ablaze.

The same format could be applied to the breadcrumb column, with a
notable exception: the column should ellipsize the text (if not all of
it can fit) at the beginning of it, not at the end. So you'll see the
direct parent instead of the common starting anscestor for many items.
