This is not correct AFAIK. The default setting is still to use a global view
setting that doesn't change unless the user changes it.

If Dolphin is set to "use custom view properties per folder", the default view
when using the general search functionality will include the path since
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/466fa20f7faf26ef2df2453da1622e0805564140
was merged 7 month ago.

We would like to enable the "use custom view properties per folder" setting by
default which would fully resolve this bug but unfortunately this would
re-introduce https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322922. We have an open merge
request to fix this but it currently doesn't address a regression the current
state of the merge request would be introducing:
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/288#note_368581

If anyone is interested in fully fixing that issue, it would be quite a huge
improvement to the overall Dolphin UX.

There is also this bug report which asks for the same feature:
