Search/replace text within a frame (or whatever the current selection is)

The search/replace function is fast and powerful, but it seems we can’t have it focus on the current selection. It only searches either the whole page or the whole file. I often want a replacement to apply to select elements only, for that I would love to make my selection and then ask search/replace to only do its magic on that selection.

Hey @Fabrice, thanks for the feedback!

You are correct. Right now, you can only search on the current page or all pages. We’ve updated your topic into a feature request, and we’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.
