I would also find this feature useful. I came from another text editor that had 
this and I miss it in Geany.

My use-case is that I hit Ctrl-f to bring up the Find dialog, then type a word 
and hit Enter continuously to iterate through the matches in the document. I 
don't use/need the Message window.

Currently as I hit Enter to iterate through the matches, I don't know where I 
am. Is the current highlighted word one of only a few matches, or one of 
hundreds? Even if I know how many matches there are in total (using the Find 
All > Mark button), I still don't know whether the current highlighted word is 
at the beginning, end or middle of that group of matches.

Instead, it'd be nice if the current and total matches were displayed in the 
statusbar. E.g. `2/5 matches`, `4/5 matches`, `1/5 matches (search wrapped)`. 
That way, as I iterate through the matches I know exactly where I am, how many 
matches there are remaining before the end of the document, etc.
