I think you only have to switch once, then keep using the Find Next
binding. After a while it becomes automatic.

Anyway, I added a hidden pref to customize the behaviour partly because
Find Selection also uses the X selection outside Geany, and I think
this is confusing behaviour by default if the user expects it to use
the current word.

So to just repeat the last word, update Geany and add this to your
geany.conf under [geany]:
find_selection_type=2
