Thank you Rhonda and Jogy.
By trying different things, I found that the path above the Preview window can be selected/highlighted when I choose Everything > Files but not when I choose Files > All Files or Files > Documents/Pictures/Music. This behavior is inconsistent. It's not a terribly big issue, I know, but X1's behavior should be consistent. Inconsistencies like this can be annoying and disruptive to one's work.
Shouldn't the Path that is displayed above the Preview Window when you choose Everything > Files work the same way as when you choose Files > All Files and Files > Documents, etc? After all, they're all Files--and the display of path and filename above the Preview Window LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME in both cases. The only difference is that you can select it in one case and you can't select it in the other case.
With regard to clicking Open: The problem with clicking Open is that this requires opening the file in the external application associated with the filetype. Sometimes I just want to copy and paste the path into a text file or into an application that is different from the default application associated with the filetype. In X1 6.7 I was able to do this. In X1 Search 8 I can't. Opening the file in its default application is unnecessary when you don't need to open the default application for that filetype.
