Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:40:23 EDT
In a text editor, Find fills in the field with the current selection.
If there is no selection, the field is blank.
It should remember the last contents of the field in this case instead,
since you often want to search for the same string multiple times,
but may not have it selected.

This would address the two common cases:
	- search for the next occurrence of the current selection
	- repeat last search (user just has to clear selection first)
