    When I use the search function in the project tab it shows me a list of objects (files) whose names include the keyword I typed in.
    Can I find out in which folder a found object is? I can copy the the relative path to the clipboard, but using a separate editor to read out my clipboard seems very cumbersome.

    If you select the item the path will be shown at the bottom. Screen Shot 2019-09-15 at 10.49.07.png

    You can also right click to open the directory for the selected asset.

    Ah, thank you. My project window is so narrow that I didn't even see that. Thank you very much.

    P.S. I'd still prefer a highlight of the folder when you click on the search result such as you get when you e.g. click on the texture of a material. Hurry up Unity.
