It sort of is possible.  In the find dialog, near the bottom, you'll see a combo box labelled "search results window" that allows you to create a search-0 list, search-1 list, search-2 list etc.  These are shown as different tabs on the search results toolbar.  You can also append the new search result output to the previous output.  If you want to see two search results on screen at the same time, you can output the search to an editor window, then use the split horizontally, split vertically commands on the window menu to show them both at the same time.

Graeme recommendation is correct for version 11, multiple search results windows were added for that version.  From the screenshot, it looks like you are running v10, which only had one buffer for all search results.  In v10, you could use the option to Output to MDI Child (or use mflast on the command-line) to load the search results into an edit window.  From there you could split the windows or duplicate to show the results in multiple windows, but there is still only one buffer for all the results.
