+1 on the might-be-missing-something - but also there's:
- set text-to-find and text-to-replace
- Search --> Replace All in Selection (control-command-equal)

The only reason I can imagine right now why that wouldn't work as a 
solution for the use case cited is if instances of matching text that are 
NOT to be changed fall within the selected text. 

Having the ability to have multiple non-contiguous selection ranges does 
sound appealing, but it would probably have to be some new modifier-key for 
a click-and-drag IMHO.
