<p>I noticed that the default behaviour of Geany is to put the selected text into the "Search for:" as long the search dialog is not opened.  If you open it using [Ctrl]+[F] or via the menu does not matter.</p>
<p>Since the feature is already implemented I think it should be a little bit easier to just add an option such like "Always search for selected text".</p>
