I wish finder would show the file path of files it found
In Finder, you can show the "path bar" via Cmd-Opt-P (or View > Show Path Bar), which will show the path of selected files in any Finder window, including searches: https://i.imgur.com/jXWYEnQ.png
One final tip: Cmd-Opt-C in Finder will copy the pathname of a selected file. Sadly this does not work in file select sheets.
