Without modification:
First search can be established by highlighting text then clicking 
Search-Find.
  A new search has to be entered in the dialog (either by hand or 
copy-paste), or by closing and starting a new search.

With my mod:
The following search(es) can be done the same way as the first, the 
highlighted text appearing in the Dialog without copy-paste or closing 
the Dialog .
To me it is more consistent and what I have got used to in other editors 
such as Textpad. It does seem to flow better when doing lots of searches.

We discussed this a couple of years ago on this list.
