Description
Hi! I really enjoy using Micro as my terminal text editor, and I have a feature suggestion to improve the search experience. Currently, when searching for text using Ctrl+F, Micro highlights the matches but doesn't show the total number of results found.
It would be very useful if Micro could display the total number of matches in the infobar. For example, something like:
Found 6 results or Match 1 of 6.
This would make it easier to understand how many occurrences of the search term exist in the document and navigate through them.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Ctrl+F search flow and the infobar display path. Confirm with maintainers whether the infobar should show a total or a current/total count, then verify the agreed display while searching a document with multiple matches.
