#46 Find should center the selection in the window

[Christopher Heiny]

This is more a feature request than a bug report. It
would be nice if find/find all/etc centered the
selection in the window, instead of positioning it a
few lines above the bottom/below the top.

Even better would be for this to be a configurable
option. Maybe it already is, but it's just hidden from
view.

That is a good idea. But the thing is that the find window
itself is often at the center of the window. It wouldn't be
very helpful to show the find result behind the find window
I guess.

Well, I would argue the following:
- the find window can be moved away from the center of the
screen (in fact, this is what I usually do anyway, because
having the find window in the middle of where I'm trying to
edit is even worse than having a stinging insect in the
middle of your beer (and that's pretty bad))
- FindAll and the find bar do not obscure anything, and they
still have the position at the top/bottom problem.

When you move down, there is an autoscroll function that
makes position go a few lines "above the bottom/below the
top". This is called Electric Scroll in sources, and could
be extended for this: you should at least try to increase
the value of it in the option(I don't remember the exact
text), but it works even when you move your cursor. Or maybe
a simple option to add from that code.
