That last one would probably be redundant if the first suggestion were implemented.

The frustration I was having this morning was needing to do a search & replace 
over a large selection in one file. Search has the 'In Selection' feature but 
won't show me the lines. Search In Files shows me the lines but is oblivious to 
selections. So I have two powerful tools in front of me but neither were of 
much help.
