Select “Do not warp cursor to found item” in the Find dialog.

I tried all variation checked/unchecked. Both of them screen focus to the search object . I don’t want change anything. screen or cursor stay old position. I want only select object and get to cursor position by press (M) key

I filed a bugreport for ineffective “do not warp…”. On the other hand the function you need is “search for footprint”, shortcut is simply “t”. It selects the component and starts Moving by teleporting the component to your actual cursor.
