While on the subject: why force user to select the text?

I used an editor that copied whatever word was under cursor to find
dialog, selected or not.

It was extremely useful not to have to reach for the mouse. (Yes I do
know I can select a word with keyboard...)

Since the whole content of the search field is selected by default when
entering search dialog, if user wants to search for something else, he
will not waste a single key stroke...

Please consider implementing that.

Also, I don't see "whole word only" option? 

(Yes I do know I can do that with regex - but it's not the same)


Thanks,
Andrej
