As implemented in MS Visual Studio, when the cursor is on a word (even if not selected) and the user presses CTRL+F, the word appears inside the Search Dialog's textbox. Of course this does not happen with F3.

I'm also doing the copy-paste thing too so such an option (with either the selected word or the word the cursor is on) would be welcomed. Support++

Yes it is, but it's not so easy to add. Currently selection and search result are separate, so it wouldn't be too difficult to add it. But I plan to merge them now that there is a text cursor. But then we would have a selection already during search, and we wouldn't want to take the text from that selection to continue the search (e.g. when we originally started with a regular expresion)...
