Display path column in Finder

In the search results in Finder, how can I display a column with the path where the file was found?

In Recycle Bin, how can I display a column with the path where the file was deleted from?

There's no way to display the path column in Finder. Luis's solution is the best. You can also right-click and open the file in its enclosing folder. I used to request this via Apple Feedback at every product roll cos it would be such a useful feature. Depending how you want to use it, some search apps have a path column. I use EasyFind which has it.


I don't know any way you can do it with the waste bin, I'm afraid.

In the search results, or anywhere else in Finder, you can have the "Path Bar" shown at the bottom:


View->Show Path Bar


I am not aware of a way to display the place a file was deleted from.
