Spotlight: ⌘-R launch of Finder; adjust its window size

When running a Spotlight search, if you select Command-R (⌘-R) on a file,

a Finder window will open. Currently the size this appears as is as in Figure 1 (see below).

This is view is really awkward to work with so I have to adjust it.
Unfortunately, I have to do this every time I run a Spotlight search.


Q: Is there a way to permanently adjust this (default) size?


(Note. I know how to adjust the default window-size

of launching Finder.app.

Here, however, I am specifically asking about

launching a Finder window from a Spotlight search.)

Might help to delete this file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist
