Well, maybe there is a way but it would be tricky to implement. That's
why all the examples you've seen have provided the results in a separate
list.
One way to keep track is to just keep an eye on the titlebar of the
script editor, which will tell you where you're at. The search stack I
wrote for myself also retains the selection of the script that's opened,
so that also provides a clue. (Did I send you that one?)
I do, however, use the "ss" command in the message box to bring up my
search stack. It's a handler in my custom backscript, which loads when
MC is launched.
on ss
palette "searchScripts"
end ss
