Showing full paths in Results Panel

SO I am wondering, what sort of dark secret voodoo magic is required to
convince the Results Panel to cough up the full path to the files it lists in
Search results? It does this for the Link Checker results in the same panel.
But in Search results, i get one subfolder and the filename, no matter what.
Most annoying! After locating a folder full of stuff I should have cloaked, or
some other folder of stuff I should investigate, I have to go outside
Dreamweaver and use Windows file search *shudder* to actually locate the
folder. Grr!

I've seen this mentioned in one other forum entry, but with no answer. No joy
with tech notes, etc., or even a Google search. Surely SOMEONE else is annoyed
by this, and has found a solution?

:confused;

If you're talking about the Find/Replace search, I'm getting the full path
to the document starting at the web root showing up in the result panel. If
you need to know where the site root is, look inside your site panel, which
will tell you where your site root is in relation to the root of your hard
drive.

I am talking about the Find/Replace search..and i do NOT get full path, just
the closest subfolder plus the filename. (i know how to find the path to the
Web root. Der. :-)

So, for example, if I do a search that finds a hit in the file <web
root>/blah/foo/wibble/eep/index.html, what I will see in the Results Panel list
is:

eep/index.html <matched text snippet>

As you can see, this makes it very difficult to figure out where the "eep"
subfolder is located - no idea where, or how deep, it is within my site. If I
had built the site myself, I could probably guess...but I inherited a massive
Web site, containing around 37 sub-applications and thousands of pages, and I
haven't had much time to spend with it yet, so 9 times out of ten i'm clueless
where a particular subfolder lives, unless it is off of the web root.

So what I'm wondering is...why is it you see the full path down to the web
root, and I don't? that's most odd. I have the latest update, and I have done
nothing wierd to my configuration - just installed it, added a site, and
started using it.

Did you bribe yours with something? Beer? Chocolate? Long walks in the park?

Yes, the chocolate is what you're missing. Without that, you'll get nowhere
