"Find in Page" only in selected area of page
-
Hello,
on multiple occasions have I found the need to Find something only in selected area. If I use ctrl+F function on a page it displays all matches on whole page, but after that (when I pinpointed where the thing I'm looking for should be) I would like to search for the word (or parts of the word) only in that designated area.
As far as I know there is no option to do this (select area where "Find" should be applied to and "Find" only within that area), and I (for one) could really use it.
At the moment I have to copy and paste the area to a document (word, text editor, etc.) and find it from there, but it really is quite a hassle to do it this way...If you could implement such option in "Find" functionalities that would be awesome.
Thank you!

The best available at the moment is to select some text at the start of the designated area, and use F3 (Find Next), which will find the next occurrence from that point.
