Recording search strings into an ODF archive seems no more "secure" than
recording to user profile, probably less so since once a document is out of
users control those prior searches would be exposed.

As to what could be done to record search strings (and probably replacement
strings as well, not results of course) for LibreOffice the user profile seems
the correct location.

Notepad++ records per user search strings into <FindName> stanzas in a 
<FindHistory> XML file--config.xml. 

We already do similar in LibreOffice's application registry to hold the
picklist for our MRU per user profile.
