Enter "foo" in the "Search for" field, and click on "Confirm". It finds the "foo" on line two. Then place again the cursor at the beginning of line 3, open the find window ("foo" is still present in the search field), and click "Within selection" and "Confirm": a message "Not found" is displayed. However, if then you click on "After selection" and "Confirm", then the "foo" on line 4 is found. I think that finding something after the cursor occurs quite frequently. Requiring users to use the find tool twice ("Within selection" and then "After selection") to get it is not much intuitive. "After selection" should always start finding after the cursor.

If the selection is just a caret that is normal. You have to select the whole item with F2 or Esc to have a not empty selection. > I think that finding something after the cursor occurs quite frequently. > Requiring users to use the find tool twice ("Within selection" and then > "After selection") to get it is not much intuitive.
