Searched folder ../ up one directory?
So the "Up One Level" button has been gone for quite some time now, replaced by the "Smart Address Bar" [ > Computer > Users > Admin > Documents > etc.] we have all gotten use to it more or less (or the keyboard junkies just resorted to the 'Up One Level" shortcut; [Alt]+[UP]) and conceded to some of it's advantages. But where this system fails completely is with Search.
Windows 7 search is riddled with problems, issues and fuzzy-logic, but the greatest nuisance for me is that if you simply 'Click' a folder that is located in search, thats it, you're stuck there. If you want to go up a level to the containing directory, fo'getaboutit. If you want to even know where the hell the folder you are currently in is located... good luck. All the address bar tells you is [search-ms:displayname=Search%20Results%20in%20root&crumb=location:C%3A%5Croot\sub4] wow, so helpful. (crumb? is that there to feed my "mouse" with?
As far as I have found the only way to get it to work "properly" (in my opinion) is to 'Right Click' the folder you want to access from your search and choose "Open Folder/File Location" from the menu. Now it performs just as good ol' 3gig limited XP did; when you clicked a search located folder, it took you to the folder showing you the full folder path in the address bar. If you clicked "Back" it took you back to the search, if you clicked the "Up One Level" button, it, um, took you up one level.
Please for the loves of jebus, correct me if I'm wrong.
