Thanks for the explanation.  So it sounds like this is not an enhancement we can
expect anytime soon.

To be clear - for me at least, getting back to something closer to where I was
before searching (window position included) would be an improvement, even if it
were not 100% perfect because of variable-width fonts.  (I don't use
variable-width fonts that much anyway, personally.)
