Show folder path in file search dropdown

I often end up with files with the same or similar names across many different projects. Things like “Dashboard” or “Task List” or something. I would rather not have to name all of my files “Project ABC Dashboard” and “Project XYZ Task List.” But it makes it really hard to know which file to click on the search dropdown when the only metadata I can see is how long ago it was edited.

Proposal: Show the containing folder in the search dropdown. Or better yet, a breadcrumb list if there are multiple levels of folders.
