When you search using the Spotlight window (by pressing Option-Command-Spacebar, not by using the Spotlight menu), you’ll notice a small “i” icon to the right of each result. Clicking this icon expands the item to show you more information. For example, if the item is a contact you can view the contact’s phone number, email, etc. Clicking the icon again collapses the item to hide the details.

Here’s a shortcut to view the information for multiple items: Press and hold the Option key as you click. All of the items in the group (documents, folders, etc.) will expand. Clicking again while holding the Option key collapses all of the items in the group. You can also hold the Option key and use the Right Arrow key to expand items and the Left Arrow to collapse items.
