Uh, my wish was tragedy but current implementation is also bad. Thank you for
the info, now I see what you are talking about.

The "safe place" for showing the info about the search is a must because it is
necessary to show info about finished job. So It would be great to reuse this
statusbar(-like) and there show:
* searching for xxx....
and when it is done
* searching for xxx.... found.

Why? Because this dialog is big distraction and it simply blinks. I have no
chance to read it all, I saw only a frame. Was it an error? A warning? What it
did say? User cannot tell. 

So I rephrase -- the wish is:
Please provide reliable, cumulative, static information about searching and
completion of the search so user:
a) will be informed _always_
b) his/her actions would be taken into account immediately,
c) could read the message in his/her own pace.

I posted an update for HIG about not forcing user to work in computer pace but
I don't remember if this hit the main page.
