One of the things I miss most in Windows 8.x is the ability to quickly search for a file, then open the folder its in.

In Windows 7, I could type some document name or similar, then right-click the search result, and one of the options in the context menu, would be "Open file location" and boom, you'd have an Explorer window with the folder.

That's the only thing missing from Classic Shell that I've found in the couple of months I've used it. Other than that Classic Shell is epic and have made Windows 8 actually a good experience!
