Question about the find function in Kate

I've noticed that when using the find function in Kate, I can only find one item at a time. Pushing Enter or the Find button makes the Find function go away. Is there anyway to make Kate mimic gedit's find behavior, where pushing Enter or Find takes me to the next occurence of the pattern and the find box does not close until I tell it to? The gedit behavior seems more useful for searching for several occurences of a pattern within a large file.

Open Kate. Look under the Edit menu. You'll see Find, Find Next and Find Previous. You can, of course, click the buttons or you can use F3 for Next or Shift+F3 for previous.

Thanks! That works well enough for me!
