The search result is centered in current releases, but if there are more results present on the same screen then the page isn't scrolled, but the next result gets focus and the page is only scrolled when the next result isn't on the current page and in that case it will be centered once again. I'm not aware of an extension that allows to have the result always at the bottom. If you click "Highlight All" then possible results might become more noticeable because of the purple color.
