Note that this issue (everything where you had to say a word is an

find (as long as the user knows what a menu is).

What about having an automatic option as default, where the offline  
buddies are shown as long as the list doesn't have to scroll?

Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Open new windows in column view :)
