Hi :)
Hmm, sadly Writer doesn't seem to do quite the same thing as GEdit.
With GEdit i could;
1. select all 10 files,
2. right-click to open in GEdit,
3. do the search in any of the documents
4. Ctrl z to close that document and arrive in the next automatically
5. when i open the find dialogue it already has the search criteria i used
in the last document
Sadly with Writer i'd have to copy&paste the criteria each time. I guess
that's another argument in favour of tabbed UI

I am sure I'm not quite following what is ultimately wanted but about
opening multiple copies, but suppose I have a directory containing the
desired files, say, 1.doc, 2.doc, Another.doc; is there a verbot
against going into the directory and doing
soffice *.doc
at the commandline? or does this not work?
but pardon and ignore me if I'm way off-target.

Mmm. Will take a look at how to make such a request.

Well, if, say, there are 10 documents in the list to be searched, how
would one open all 10 conveniently?
