+1

Or use some text that says what it means?  You say it moves to another search
hit ("adjusts its position to another match").

Is that other search hit always the next/previous one (depending on direction)?
Or is it at least some simple, consistent movement that is easy to name?

If so, maybe just say that you are moving to the "[next]" match or some such.
Dunno - it's not clear to me what is involved.  But it's also not clear to me
from either "pending" or "adjusted".  And if you say nothing at all but move to
another search hit, that too might be confusing.  HTH.
