Result of a search using 'GNOME-Search-Tool' showing the path (= location) in a seperate column

When I search for files (e.g. fstab) in Nautilus, the result doesn't show the path (= location) of the files in the result. I have to right click > select properties, to view the file's path. 

It would be very nice to have a column with the path for every file of the result (like the 'GNOME-Search-Tool' does). Then you can also sort the result by path. A feature with "open folder which contains the file" is also necessary. 

The result could be like this: see attachment (screenshot of the result of a search using 'GNOME-Search-Tool')

Even in version 3.1.4 (tested with Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 1) this feature is still missing.

P.S: I know this wish is a duplicate. See also:

It was also reported to Ubuntu Brainstorm:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/13203/ (have a look at the votes !!!!)
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28359/

With this report I want to emphasize that this feature is *still* missing.

PP.S: The proposed workaround right-click > Properties > Location is suboptimal, because:
- not userfriendly (right-click on every file in the result; no overview),
- no sorting by path,
- a long pathname will not be shown in full length on small monitors.

No need to file duplicates if you are aware of it - It won't help pushing this.
