I don't think this is possible with the current cursor handing.  The cross
hairs could be drawn at the found item but as soon as the dialog is dismissed
and the cursor is moved, the cross hairs would jump to the cursor position and
the visual reference to the found item would be lost.  Highlighting may be
useful in this case.  This use case may require a bit more thought.
