Demonstration: Above image, you can see that I had searched for grab and to know its path I pressed Command Key, the location is displayed as Untitled/Applications/Utilities/Grab

If you have used earlier versions of Mac OS X operating systems i.e. Lion, Show Leopard (anything below Mavericks) then you would have noticed that the search results used to show the path where the search file is located.
