Yes, but what he was requesting was a little extra cleverness built in.
Think about it … if you open the Find dialog and you don’t have a current
selection, the odds are near zero that you want to do a “find in selection” —
so why should you have to toggle a checkbox?
Contrariwise, if you do have a selection, the odds are pretty good that you
want to search in the selection — so why should you have to toggle a check box?
Years ago, I used a text editor on Windows that actually improved on this
heuristic: it assumed that you wanted to “find in selection” if you had a
current selection that was more than one line long. My experience was that this
was what I wanted probably 99% of the time.
