What this script would do?
In standard search, the found string is selected, so it would lost the current selection
and you would no be able to search further, unless the script saves the information (line
range?) somewhere.

Yes, I even tried to write some script to do it by using StripShow but lacking static variables to store the selection is a problem, since setting CurrentPos or using GotoPos clear the selection.

You can create new properties in Lua:

props['LuaInfoMessage'] = message

I use the above to create a custom property to display in the status bar, for example...

statusbar.text.1=\
Various things and \
$(LuaInfoMessage)
