Well, why does one search for a file?  I knew it was in there somewhere,
I knew approximately what it was called, and I wanted to find it. So I
used the Nautilus Go>Search for files (ctrl-F) functionality. But I also
wanted to know *where* it was stored, since I needed other files from
the same location. In the end I had to resort to the 'find' command in
the shell, but that shouldn't have to be necessary, Nautilus could
provide the information easily.

When you say "all is fine" do you mean they have added a method to go to
the enclosing directory, or that the field in the properties box is no
longer shortened? (Or both?)

Title:
  After searching for a file, it is hard/impossible to find where it is
  located

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you search for a file, you get a list of files that match the
  search, but there is no right-click option 'open containing folder'
  for a file. Worse yet, if you ask for the file's properties, the
  location field is shortened to only show the initial part, so you
  can't even see where the file is located.
