I don't understand what you mean by "set", set where, what, why, when?

"next" starts from the end of the selection at the time you click it,
there is not any special position saved.

Those are the screen position of the find in files dialog, nothing to
do with a position in the file.

Best to provide more info on what the base use-case is.
