Description of the new feature/enhancement

When the find dialog is used, center the found string vertically in the terminal.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I'm often interested in the few lines before the search string and sometimes the found string is behind the dialog itself. Centering it vertically would help in both cases.
