You can use Edit -> Find -> Use Selection for Find (Cmd-E) to use the selected text for search.

Did you also press Cmd-F to show the search field?

Thank you, I tried and it doesn't work. I selected text + CMD-E and nothing happen.

Good point, it's now working and I understand!

Does CMD-E is useful for others actions than Search or Search & replace?

If NO :

Maybe a suggestion, to be more efficient, it'll best to start search of selected text with CMD-E, instead of CMD-E + CMD-F! I imagine that when I use CMD-E, it's because I want to search.

Thank's

You're right, Cmd-E should also show the search field.
