Often I use Spotlight to find some file, but then I'd like to see where that file is. My natural reaction is to right-click and select "show in Finder", but alas no such thing seems to be possible. Is there some trick I'm missing?

I'm aware there is also a search in Finder itself, but it isn't quite as convenient as cmd-space.

For example how to see where footer.inc is?
