Well, maybe there is a way but it would be tricky to implement. That's 
why all the examples you've seen have provided the results in a separate 
list.

One way to keep track is to just keep an eye on the titlebar of the 
script editor, which will tell you where you're at. The search stack I 
wrote for myself also retains the selection of the script that's opened, 
so that also provides a clue. (Did I send you that one?)

I do, however, use the "ss" command in the message box to bring up my 
search stack. It's a handler in my custom backscript, which loads when 
MC is launched.

on ss
   palette "searchScripts"
end ss
