How to get to a file you just searched in Spotlight (Yosemite)

One of the changes I did not like in Yosemite was when they removed right-clicking on search results in Spotlight. I used this feature to access Show in Finder so I could jump to the actual file in Finder without opening the file itself. If you miss this feature, you could still do it, but with more clicks. Scroll down to the bottom of Spotlight results and double-click Show All in Finder at the bottom of the search results. This will open a Finder search window where you can right-click and choose Show in Enclosing Folder.
