Ventura Search Locations

When I perform a search in a particular folder, the search options default to my computer, not the folder. Is there a way to search the open folder first?

How to get Finder 'search results' to identify the *folder* the search hits are in? When I run a search in the Finder (OS Mojave 10.14.3), the results don't show 'folder location' for the search 'hits'. I don't see any option to add that as a parameter. Is there one? Thanks.
