Lion Spotlight and Path

In SL when you hovered the mouse over a spotlight search result, it used to show you the path to that file. I can't see this on my installation of Lion.
Anyone seen this?

You can hold Command while mouseover the file on spotlight results. You will see the name of the file below its preview. It will alternate between the file status and its path.

well spotted that man. Thanks

Just out of interested, where did find that info. It seems sometimes that such info as this is not documented.

First result for "os x spotlight lion".

"If we had an Index File, we could look up Index File in the Index File!"

Thanks for this. I found this change really annoying. If I accidentally didn't see where I'd saved a file, spotlight would always find it. Then along comes lion and instead of showing me where the file is, it just opens it, which was hugely annoying. I often wonder why developers change things that work so well.

But thanks again for point out the fix.

When hovering over the file in Lion's Spotlight, hold down Command to see the filename and Command-Option for the file path.

Click to expand...

I have long path names so the above solutions are not appropriate. Try following, hover over the entry in spotlight, but don't click anything, and then press cmd + i ----- this should open the info window with the complete path name
