[suggestion] Add ability to see full paths to found files

Post by Jensen Head »

Currently, in the results of an advanced document search, the user can only see:

1. file name,
2. page on which the text occurrence was found,
3. number of occurrences found in the document,
4. text fragment containing the search text.

With a large number of documents and the inability to filter the search results, I suggest considering the possibility of also displaying the path to the found files, since the information currently available is insufficient when searching for documents that are in the wrong place. Currently, this requires opening each document and checking the Location value in the Document Properties dialog.

Hello, Jensen Head

This is already visible from the document row in the search results, on mousover:

I do not envision the Dev team being open to placing this in any more visible/obtrusive areas at this time, since it is a relatively unneeded feature.
Also, once you click on any of these results, you can simply right click on the active document tab to copy the "full file name" (which includes path) or open the containing folder.

Kind regards,
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
