If you're willing to have it be only the middle (not top/bottom)
of the screen and have the cursor in the middle (almost) *all*
the time instead of just when searching, you can

:set so=9999

which you can read about at

:help 'scrolloff'

Compromisingly, you can throw together a pair of mappings to
toggle between them:

:nnoremap <f4> :set so=9999<cr>
:nnoremap <f5> :set so=0<cr>

or even a toggle (as long as you don't mess with it otherwise):

:nnoremap <f4> :let &so=9999-&so<cr>

Hope this helps,
