<pre>Description:
1. if there's a selection, search it first.
why:
1.a. Calc is designed to have huge amounts of data, and searching irrelevant
areas is time consuming / significant impact.
1.b. if there's a selection (i.e. more than 1 cell), it is safe to assume the
user is interested in data at this area.
1.c. when replacing, it is more dangerous to replace outside the user's
focus.
2. When search the current region ended --> suggest the user to enhance the
range of search. Currently it's done without user consent.
the search process is anyway interactive. it wouldn't hurt to pop a yes/no
question.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. select region
2. find (or replace) text
Actual Results:
it will searched (and replaced) in non-selected areas.
Expected Results:
search (or replace) only in currently selected area first,
then ask the user whether to search in the rest of the sheet
(possibly search the rest of the workbook, why not).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
splitting "find" vs. "replace" dialogs have bad impact on usability, learning.
I'll open another feature suggestion related.
Find vs. Replace dialogs should be the same.
find in current selection makes sense
find in current selection is the default in other Office programs.</pre>
