Steps to reproduce

I very much like the Find feature, which searches text in the terminal text.

But what do you do if the search result is right below the Find dialog?

I don't see an obvious way to move the dialog interactively, so now, I have to search, remember I'm on result 6/1203, close the damn dialog to see what the match is, right click tab/Find again, click my way to result 7/1203, close the dialog again to read etc... which to be honest is kinda stupid and irritating.

Expected Behavior

To be able to move the dialog interactively, if it so happens that it covers a found result.

Actual Behavior

See description above

Thanks for the suggestion! I think we're more or less tracking this in /dup #4407.
