Search data panel to show folders

When I search the data panel for a file it shows that the file is in the main "project" but it doesn't show what folder it is in. Also when I hover over it in the header it shows what "Project" it is in but not the folder. Is there a way to find the folder a file has been misplaced into so it can be moved to the proper location?

After you find the file, left click on the "Version" notation and you will get the folder location listing.  Here I am in the Project "Beyond the Drafting Board" and search for Sheet Metal Box.  It shows it in the folder "Demo Files".

That's curious. When I do that I only get that it is in "Mold Tools" which is on the "home" menu  page as 1 of 2 projects. Within "mold tools" I have about 35 folders with about 4-6 sub folders each. That is the area I was hoping for some clarification. I don't get the sub category, folder, whatever after the initial like your example shows ie. Beyond the drafting board- demo files. Am I storing them incorrectly?

I do not have any way of checking the function in that deep of a folder structure.  I did one on the deepest I can and it works just fine.  Notice it wraps to the second line due to the data panel width restriction.  I do not use Fusion 360 in a commercial environment, if I did, my folder structure would be a bit more complex.

Upon further digging I have found a small handful that have the extra info but it is only about 5%.

I have a couple that show 3-5 folders deep but it is only a small percentage. The majority only show Mold tool, the project folder. I guess I'll have to be more thorough in my file naming.

Thanks for taking a look at it for me.
