I'm on the Tahoe beta and holding command with an item selected in spotlight shows the path.

For all matches or only the first?

Whichever one is selected.

Alfred will show you the full path of the search results

how would one compare alfred and raycast? I've never owned a mac before, just got one a month ago.

Alfred is not as flashy but it's an extremely mature native macOS app.They've been improving it for 15+ years. No subscription either.

Since it was release I've seen people frequently complaining about Raycast's memory consumption.

There's a lot of overlap in terms of features.

Alfred is old and efficient, not very flashy or bling-blingy. And zero AI integration, definitely no subscriptions.

It also Just Works and stays out of the way until you need it.

I've replaced spotlight with Alfred maybe a decade ago and haven't looked back since.

The fun part is that Spotlight used to do this, but they progressively made it worse year after year. It became completely unusable for me maybe a couple of years ago and switched to Raycast, which I use exactly like I used to use Spotlight in 2010 and nothing more.
