If you widen the Editor window sufficiently, the Find and Replace window will move to the right into a blank area where it will not hide any code.

That works. Was hoping for a floating window option

I don't think there is any way to get the "find" window vanish on its own after you find the first match. So you'd have to click it closed every time.

I wouldn't want it to close on its own anyway because if I want to find subsequent matches, I'd have to type in the pattern all over again.
