Thanks, I'm aware of the shortcut key; as others noted, that's not what I was asking about.
I'm looking for the ability for BBEdit to assume that if I have text highlighted*, that's what I want to search. I didn't say anything about default behavior (although, the text editors I have at hand, both on Mac and Windows, all do this as a default); an option to enable that behavior would be fine. *As Neil noted, when more than one line is selected. If less than one line is selected, then what is selected should default to what is being searched. That's the behavior most people use for most searches — when bucky (and others, including me) are searching for a phrase, it's *generally* less than a line. When multiple lines are selected, we're *generally* wanting to search within that selection. So, I would like a way (an option, whatever) for the editor to do the *general* case automatically, without me having to remember to check/uncheck a box. The exceptions are what the box, and shortcut key, are for. But they're the exceptions, not the rule. The lack of this ability is the biggest hindrance I have in using BBEdit. I search in selected text a lot, and, since the other editors I use[d] all do this, I'm not used to having to remember to select and unselect that checkbox. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
