Sorry but this one came back to my attention:

I know it is a battle between the two extremes for the size of the list presented.

But when you search for something and have a (sarcasm on) _few_ (sarcasm off) matches.....  
It would be nice if the window could be dragged down to make the list longer.

(and) (sorry)  
Maybe number them too.  
That way if you have a _squillion_ matches, you scroll down the list and know the last one you looked at and so this time go to the NEXT one, not spend a few iterations looking at the same one.  
Just saying. 😉

Thanks.

Or press f for Find Next or shift-f for find previous

Or, use the toolbar to step through the search results
