Make the Edit Find result show mid-screen?

Is there a way to make Find show the result show mid-screen in the script editor? When you click on a handler, the "on ..." shows mid-screen. With Find the result is at the bottom of the screen... Not as good.
Thanks, Erik Hansen

Which version of the Find dialog are you using? If you're using the advanced Find in the script editor the results are displayed at the bottom of the debugger, since that pane is part of the debugger itself. If you're using the editor's simple Find, it skips from one result to the other as you describe. There is also a Find and Replace dialog in the IDE, unrelated to the editor's find, that can also search scripts. If you use that you will get a list of results, and clicking any line takes you to the correct script location.
