Show Collection Name with Search Results

blairw
When I select My Library in the Collections window, then type a word in the Search box, the center column List shows the article titles found, but there is no way for me to see what SubCollection the article is in. I would like an additional item in the right pane that shows the SubCollection where the article is stored.
Sometimes I save an article in a couple of SubCollections, the Search results will show two instances of the article, but no way to see where either one is.
Thanks

    alt-click on an item shows you all the collections it is in.
    Note that one item can be in several sub-collections. You should, ideally, not have two instances of the same article in your library.

    You mean highlight the desired item in the center pane, then press/hold ALT key, then left click mouse? I did this, nothing happens that I can see...

    sorry, my bad, it's ctrl-click on windows (option on mac, alt on linux)

    The KB article made it clear to me how it works, thanks!
