In other software such as MS Office, web browsers, PDF viewers, and simple text editors, when I use the 'find' functionality to search for some keyword (usually Ctrl + F in a default US-English install of most software), I get the number of matches in the search bar. In LO Writer however, it doesn't show this piece of information.
Found keywords are selected, so you can see words/characters number in the status bar.
(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #1) > Found keywords are selected, so you can see words/characters number in the > status bar. But that's only when you click 'Find all', and will not show you which match number (e.g. match 3 out of 8) you are browsing when you click next or previous.
Confirm. For example in a document I have the sentence: "This is a paragraph." And I am searching for how many "a" are there. I get "Selected: 1 word, 1 character" If I click on "Find All" I get "Selected: 4 words, 4 characters". Just now I get the real answer, but only about characters, not about words. There are only 2 words containg "a", not 4.

For blind and visually impaired users it is very important that after a search the number of hits can be displayed directly and can also be accessed. Unfortunately, the solution via the status bar does not work because the status bar cannot be read out by the screen reader NVDA (see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137075 and https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/11698). It would be best if the hits were displayed in a list that can be operated with the arrow keys and that the hit is displayed including its sentence context so that it is easier to orientate oneself in the text.

The problem still occurs.
Hi All, Here is an enhancement patch to show number of matches in Find and Replace dialog and Findbar: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/139745
Jim Raykowski committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/218624bdf176010e18afc06b453b4535d7a00a04 tdf#126535 show search key found times in find and replace dialog It will be available in 7.5.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
As a further enhancement we should probably change “search key” for “search term”
This bug was about "Find" toolbar, and this is resolved just in Find and Replace.

Yes, I didn't know that thing about placeholder. But in my case is checked, but it is not showing the results. Please test this bug on a Windows machine. I disable and enabled again, and nothing. I tried also reset to factory settings and nothing. The only message is "Reached to the end of the document".

Or maybe I have to wait 2-3 days for another build of LibreOffice 7.5.

No worries! Thank you for the QA work :-)
Verified. It is working to show number of matches when pressing "Find all". Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e46f9cc4b506c325cbe1060777bbc81fd1630f49 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
