As I said it doesn't make sense to show `Found 1 matches of "foo"` when finding the next/previous and Geany already shows such a message for find alls.

Browsers automatically do a progressive find all, they don't wait for you to type the search pattern then return the first result so their behaviour is irrelevant.

If find didn't find anything, the background of the search pattern changes colour to indicate that.

Showing in the status bar that the search wrapped might be a good idea though, you could raise a separate feature request for that and somebody may contribute it.  Personally I just notice that the line numbers have reduced.
