Add features：Minimize the window after running.

[yryy123]

The existing feature is "close the search window after running", but when the window is redisplayed, the previous search results are also closed. Sometimes, if the file run is not the desired one, the user needs to search again, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, a feature like "hide the window or minimize the window after running" is required. This way, when the search window is redisplayed, the need for repeated searching can be avoided.
