Description
The Using Find-> Enter find mode (function: /) causes a small text box to appear in the bottom right of the window and it is very unnoticeable and small. I often find myself triple slashing (///) because I cannot tell if I am in find mode or not.
Could we have the find text box appear larger and closer to the top in a similar manner, although not size, to the Bookmark Search or History Search finder.

Research direction
Start at the Find->Enter find mode entry point and inspect the existing find text box, then compare it with the Bookmark Search and History Search finders. Done means the find box is larger, closer to the top, and more noticeable so users can tell when find mode is active.
