Spotlight Doesn't Clearly Show File Path

Good day. In dark mode in Monterey, when I Spotlight a file and hit command to bring up its path, it shows up in the expected place but as white text, usually on a white background. I cannot see the file path. Please advise.

Thanks, James. Alfred was way too feature-heavy and yet too limited with its free version. I downloaded Raycast (https://www.raycast.com/) and it works perfectly for my purposes. I hope this issue will be fixed in a forthcoming macOS release.

That's a graphical bug. Please report the issue in detail to:


Apple Feedback Assistant

I suggest an alternative workaround solution. Check out Alfred, a tool that can replace the Spotlight search and do quite a bit more. https://www.alfredapp.com It is free unless you want the more advanced features or wish to help fund development by buying the Powerpack add-on.


Searching for a PDF looks like this and as you can see gives many more options to access the full path, even copy it or navigate to the path, etc.
