Open Spotlight search item in Finder

I use spotlight extensively. Use of CMD + Space is very convenient. I type the search word. It shows me a list of files. I select the item and hit enter. It opens the file. If it is a power point presentation then it opens powerpoint with the selected file. 

Now comes the tricky part. How can i see that file's path ? or Open the file's folder in a Finder window?

Here is the solution. 

With the item selected (highlighted in blue) press and hold Cmd button. It will show you the file's path. 


Similarly , With the item selected , just press Cmd + Enter. It will open the file's folder in a new Finder tab.
