I don't know how searching within a selection is more useful than
current search functionality. It would be a subset of the entire
file/buffer, but with line numbers and bookmarks it should be pretty
easy to tell if you've found an occurrence within a certain area or
not. Not saying it's a bad thing, just can't imagine how I'd use it.
