There is plenty of horizontal space. With Ctrl+R there's also unused space at
the bottom between the settings and the next/previous buttons.

Most programs these days with some find-in-content functionality show the total
number of matches and the index of the current match, and highlight all
matches, continuously as you type, without having to click specific buttons
buttons. There's no need to automatically ape other programs, but I think this
is a case where the nowadays popular UI gets it right and has a convenience
benefit with no disadvantage (except I guess if counting all results in a
really big file is done in the foreground).
