Try below PowerShell.

#Variables  
$SiteURL = "site URL"  
$LibraryName = "library name"  
$FolderName = "folder name"  
  
Try {  
    #Get Credentials to connect  
    $Cred= Get-Credential  
    $Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)  
  
    #Setup the context  
    $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)  
    $Ctx.Credentials = $Credentials  
    
    #Get the Library  
    $Library = $Ctx.web.Lists.GetByTitle($LibraryName)  
    $Folders = $Library.RootFolder.Folders  
    $Ctx.Load($Folders)  
    $Ctx.executeQuery()  
  
    #Get the Folder by Name  
    $Folder = $Folders | Where {$_.Name -eq $FolderName}  
    $Ctx.Load($Folder)  
    $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()   
      
    #Get Some Folder Properties  
    Write-host -f Green "Folder URL:"$Folder.ServerRelativeUrl  
}  
Catch {  
    write-host -f Red "Error Getting Folder!" $_.Exception.Message  
}

Based on your description, I understand that yon want to find the path of the folder whose name is "Fox hides in the wood at 8:00 pm to catch a rabbit called f01xi".

1.Use Search to find this folder.

2.Select the file, click details panel, copy path.
