There is currently no way to quickly look through the search results of a query initiated from the find bar. Ideally, LibreOffice should highlight all the matches as the query is typed into the searchbox, similarly to how Chromium behaves. Operating System: All Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Please try "Find All" in the "View/Find & Replace" control. Is it OK ? You specified "...from the find bar..." and "...as the query is typed into the searchbox..." so I wonder whether you look for more. Feel free to detail the enhancement you expect (I think that BZ is not the right place). Any case, not a bug.
(In reply to comment #1) > Please try "Find All" in the "View/Find & Replace" control. Is it OK ? Nope, not what I was getting at. I meant seeing at a glance what the results are, not selecting all of them. (For example, see the way Chromium shows search results.) > > You specified "...from the find bar..." and "...as the query is typed into > the searchbox..." so I wonder whether you look for more.

(If you don't think so, then what is the right place?)
Valid request. And as Mirek2 says: Try chromium to see how it's done properly.
for me this sounds very interesting (reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2, Win 8.1) marked as enhancement request
