How do I make Spotlight show file locations in Mac OS X Lion?

In Leopard's Spotlight you hold the cursor over a file and a yollw box appeared showing the location of the file. How do you do that in Lion, i.e., how do you locate the file?

Hover over the file. Wait for the preview, hold option and command and the path appears at the bottom of the preview.

And if you hold down the Command key and click the file in the results list, Spotlight will open the enclosing folder.
