Enjoyed this tip; however, Houdaspot is Spotlight on steroids. Suggest you do a cast comparing the two

Lots of other functionalities too.
One I use regularly is... search term, then press CMD (see file location), &/or CMD+R or CMD+Enter to go to file location in Finder. See this recent 28.Apr.2020 video (for this, and more Spotlight tips):
