Did you recompile the modified source? 
The change saves you having to close and re open the find dialog for a new find. You highlight the required text then click the search tab without closing the dialog. The required text will then appear in the dialog.This procedure  is similar to some other editors like Text pad.

@kenshail

I have downloaded and installed version 1.34 (from your comment: "I have changed this on a local copy of 1.34 and it works fine") but the search item in the "Find" field is still not updated accordingly to the highlighted text. Do I have the right version or am I doing the wrong thing?
