The Find Element feature is an excellent tool, bringing much of the power of
XPath to non-technical users of XXE. A useful enhancement to this feature
would be to support iterative searching in much the same way as the plain
text search tool does.

Specifically, in appropriate find modes (i.e. "Following current node",
"Following sibling of current node", "Preceding current node" and "Preceding
sibling of current node"), it would be nice to have the option to leave the
"Find Element" window open so that the search could be easily repeated.
Users could use this tool to step through, say, all indexterm elements
containing the word property.

Making the dialog non-modal would also help this use case greatly.
