Hello,
There were two RFEs open for enhancing the Find dialog:
RFE77455: Make ctrl-f function the same way in both block and stream
modes
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=77455
RFE77454: Change ctrl-f to function like eclipse find
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=77454
The implementation in RDi 9.5.0.3 only supports "Restrict search to
selection" with Block selection mode (Alt+R, Alt+L).
We have disabled the "Restrict search to selection" in stream selection
mode, because it is not yet supported and it was not supported in the
previous version either.
We understand that Stream mode is the more common and preferred way to
select text as you do not have to remember to press Alt+U.
If you would like to have the full support please vote for the "RFE77455:
Make ctrl-f function the same way in both block and stream modes".
Thanks,

Applied the latest update.
I see RFE77454 but I do not know what "like eclipse" means since I do not
use eclipse.
Used to be when I selected some text and pressed ctrl-f, I could check the
"restrict search to selection" box to limit the subsequent "replace all" to
that area. Now, the box is greyed out.
The find dialog seems to change with every update. Can someone explain
what "selection" means now and how I can effectively select text so that I
can use that checkbox? I can find no description of the settings for
selecting text like "block" "stream" etc in the help, only that I should
select one or the other.
I did some more experimenting and found that if I select some text ON ONE
LINE only and not including the EOL, the checkbox is available (but really
less than useful in that context). Selecting more than one line of text
makes the checkbox unavailable.
Using ALT-R to select a rectangle of text (of any size) enables the
checkbox and forces the checkbox to be checked. It is uncheckable. The
selected rectangle is persistent in this case.
I spose I could do all my selections with ALT-R but it's a pain to remember
to ALT-U every time.
