File Path Help In Spotlight Search Needed?

When searching for a document using spotlight search, I can usually find it, but I can’t figure out where on my system it’s saved. Can anyone tell me how to find this info? Thanks

Just trying to figure out where I’ve stored a particular file

Device: Mac Ventura

    Instead of double-clicking the file in the results or taking some other action to open the file, select it and use
    Command+R to reveal the file in the Finder.
    This opens up a new Finder window at that location with the file selected.

    I don’t have a Mac with that older operating system you have to test, but I believe with Ventura can also just hold down the Command key in Spotlight and it will show you the path to the currently selected file at the bottom of the Spotlight preview area.
