“Show All in Finder” in Spotlight? (macOS 26.0)

I have a question: Do you still see the “Show All in Finder” option when searching in Spotlight? I mean in macOS 26.0 Tahoe (final). I can’t find it anywhere. I came across mentions online that the missing option

to display all found files in Finder was one of the bugs occurring in the beta versions.

It's gone from the bottom of the results list, just under the search box there's a button to restrict the search to Finder.



You can also simply use the search bar at the top right of any Finder window to search in Finder.

The ability to view the results in finder is what is missing for all of us. It's a much easier way to review files vs in this view that is huge and you have to scroll. I don't know about everyone else, but the ability to see more of a bird's eye view in Finder was a huge benefit. Once in finder you could filter further and sort the way you need to. You can't do any of that here and it's difficult to view.
