May I suggest a few points for improving the find behaviour:
1. When I press F3 the cursor goes to next search item. I would like the line to be in the center of the screen, not at the bottom. Or, it would be useful to have 3-4 lines before the bottom of the screen.
2. You could create a multithreaded approach, so that I can halt a heavy search.
3. You could stop the repaint procedure while items are added in the find list. This way heavy searches save lots of time.
4. The find screen could dock to the bottom of the screen.
5. When I use the find utility, the results are shown at the bottom of the Find window. When I double click on an item it would be nice if the focus goes to the editor.
Overall, you have done a great job guys!! :)

This desired behavior is already implemented for jumping to Bookmarks using (Shift +) F2, so why not do the same for F3?
Horizontal centering is not necessary, but please make sure the found selection is at least (completely) visible, (or) as much as possible.
