Highlighted text in editor should be string to be searched for

[csicky]

Issue Type: Bug

I select a text in the editor, then click the search in the sidebar. Until now, the selected search was auto populated in the search box. Now it is not doing that.

See #91901 (comment).

A new setting, "search.seedOnFocus" has been added to control this behavior, and it defaults to false.

Sadly it didn't get mentioned in the Release Notes.

I don't know if it is the same, but I have this checkbox checked and it still not working:

OK, I searched now on search.seedOnFocus and found that one checkbox. Now it is working. The one in the above checkbox is probably the small search in top right corner of the editor. It is confusing a bit, maybe the one in the screenshot above could be placed next to this one for people to know even if the meaning of the text is similar, there are actually two settings.

@yume-chan thank you for clarifying it.
