When searching in Kate/KWrite/KEdit/etc., the dialog window opens by default in the middle of the text window, hiding potential matches. If, in the 'Find' dialog window, one clicks on the left icon in the application's menu bar and go to Advanced => 'Special window settings' and enables 'Placement', 'Force', 'Under Mouse' in the Geometry tab, then goes to the Window tab and changes 'Window class' to 'Unimportant' (and makes sure that 'Window role' is 'searchdialog'), the Find window will then open centered on wherever the cursor is placed, instead of the middle of the text window.
