Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the location address of an item in my computer. Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS 10.5 was more useful.

Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.


Can I make Spotlight show the path?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.
