After searching in Explorer, how to get a full path in the address bar?
When I ctrl+f search in File Explorer and click a resulting folder, Instead of the address bar providing a useful path while I'm inside the folder, it instead does the following:
What Windows does (boo):
Where I searched from: D:\Dev (looking for "Library")
Where I am now: D:\Dev\Library
Address Bar display: [] > Search Results in Dev > Library
Address Bar editing: search-ms:displayname=Search%20Results%20in%20Dev&crumb=location:D%3A%5CDev\Library
Hitting ../ up arrow: limbo / purgatory???
What I would be very happy with it doing instead:
Where I searched from: D:\Dev (looking for "Library")
Where I am now: D:\Dev\Library
Address Bar display: D:\Dev\Library
Address Bar editing: D:\Dev\Library
Hitting ../ up arrow: D:\Dev
If I navigate into a deeper directory, the address bar will display the same breadcrumbs but at least give me a useful path upon clicking on it.
Where I searched from: D:\Dev (looking for "Library" -> navigated into "glm")
Where I am now: D:\Dev\Library\glm
Address Bar display: [] > Search Results in Dev > Library > glm
Address Bar editing: D:\Dev\Library\glm
Hitting ../ up arrow: D:\Dev\Library (once more sends me to before time existed)
Is there anything I can do to remedy this? I want the absolute path in the address bar, as Windows would expect me to type it. I couldn't find any settings in the registry that felt related enough to mangle.
In the Search Results window:
- Select the folder
- Right-click to display the context menu
- Select
Open folder location
