I would like to see:
The FIND options moved from the bottom of page to the left side of page with adjustable width and the FIND ALL option display the list of finds similar to ‘Results’ in MSWORD. I am a fan of Libre Office and have donated several times.
See also the 24.8 Release Notes:
- New “Find” deck in the Sidebar, which lists the results of a quick search along with their context. The shortcut Alt + 9 is assigned to it. (Khushi Gautam) tdf#95405

ahh! I was looking at the wrong META ! 
this you should be able to (almost) do :
these would be couple of enhancements you can fill under 108743 – (Find-Toolbar) [META] Find toolbar bugs and enhancements

I was able to move it to the side, but could not type in the word to find, so basically no good there. Moved to the top and worked okay, same as on the bottom.
