Is there an option to see the path of a file in a search list

Question

Is there an option to see the path of a file in a search list?

• using standadd search field on the top of the page
• searching form the "root" folder and finding files in many differnt subfolders
• need to know from which subfolder each file is
• Have seen that this was not in sharepoint 2021, so the ask to have that is around already a time

Answer 1

Whether you use SharePoint online?

As you said, it is by designed that users only could get file search result without specific file path in the SharePoint modern search.

Here is a workaround, create a single line of text column and use following JSON codes to show file path.

Select the column -> Column settings -> Format the column -> Advanced mode -> Use codes.

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "=[$FileRef]"
}
