It seems that you did not try color-moccur library. As I think, moccur acts 
approximately so:

searches buffers -> displays results in the _current_ window -> binds up/down 
keys to the "go to prev/next occurence" -> in the "go to", calls 
(switch-to-buffer-other-window found-buffer) + (goto-line found-line)



so _found buffers_ are displayed inside the bottom window but I want them 
inside the top



PS thanks for C-x 4 b, I did not know this key
