Spotlight no longer showing file locations on my Mac Only since upgrading to Ventura have I had a problem with not being able to see a file's location in the results list before selecting it to open as I have for years before. It hasn't ever worked since the upgrade. These instructions are given by Apple: Show the location of a file on your Mac: Select the file, then press and hold the Command key. The file’s location appears at the bottom of the preview. Selecting the file in the results and holding the Command key doesn't do a thing for me and shows no location at the bottom of the window.

why don't I see the + icon in Spotlight? I want to search my MBP for files. modified today. Directions for Spotlight suggest that's possible, but I don't see the layout on my computer that is shown in the spotlight directions.
