Trouble finding the path location for search results using Spotlight

The search results don't appear to include information than tells me exactly where the files or folders (that Spotlight lists) are located. I don't always want to open the file. I often just want to find out where a file is located. Is this information provided? Where do I find it?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hold the Command key and click or press enter on the highlighted search result, which will reveal it in the Finder. You can also hover your mouse over the search result to get a preview of it, which will show the file path if you hold the Option and Command keys down at the same time.
