Description

Love the extension, thank you!

Currently matches are not numbered. When you search it shows the total number of matches, but as soon as you press return, and toggle through them one-by-one, it doesn't show which number I'm on.

Compare this to say, what Chrome search does - it shows I'm on 1/48 (i.e I'm on the first of 48)

Research direction

Start from the search UI that reports the total matches and the Return-key match toggling described in the issue. Done means the active match displays its position as current/total, matching the requested 1/48 behavior; no file or test is named in the issue.
