Hi, In the search bar you can refine your search by selecting the space or the wiki you want to search in. These concepts of space and wiki must be found somewhere in the page, to let the user know his actions have a result (ex. if he selects only in space X - the results will show him that - will not be an invisible feature). We don't have implemented search in a parent/children relationship manner - so these informations can be confusing.
The text describing is "Located in" it not says "Breadcrumbs" or parent/children relationship, explicit says that is the location of the page. The nice thing about the location is that if you hover it (hover each location link in the search page) - I've added titles to suggest that the first element is a wiki, the second is the space, etc. "Located in xwiki:Main.ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise12" - no J sorry :) very cryptic I agree that maybe ">" character can be confusing - so it can be replaced with " - ". Using "." is also cryptic and dev way.
