It has always puzzled me that "Text" actions like "Apply Text Filter," "Sort Lines...," "Process Lines Containing...," etc. default to the current selection, if there is one, or the entire document otherwise, but Find/Replace doesn't. While this might be too drastic a change to foist upon those who seldom read release notes, adding an expert preference to allow users who crave consistency to change it themselves would not be a bad idea at all.
