This is exacerbated by the fact that we changed the layout of file search results since the Maverick version where each tile in the result set had a link to open the parent folder of the file.

Otoh I think it is an indicator of our failure if search results need to contain folders to be useful. Users don't work with folders but with files. We're trying to shed our selves from our heritage of hierarchical file systems.

That said I still think there is room for improvement for users that do need to work with the file system. So let's keep this bug open as a place share ideas.
