When I currenly open Search Help window either by pressing F1 or clicking Search Help button, the Search Help window has no idea what I might be searching and the search field is always empty. Currently the usual workflow is: 1) copy some text from code, 2) open Search Help window, 3) paste text, 4) press Enter. Sometimes I forget to copy the text I want to search and the workflow turns even more annoying.
It would be much better to automatically use the currently selected text or the word cursor is located over as an initial search term. For example, if I press F1 when my code looks like this (pipe character shows where the cursor is):
arr.so|rt()
I would like to get this Search Help view:
If I am interested in the sort method, I just press Enter. If I am interested in something else, I just write the search word as usual (note that the automatically filled "sort" text is initially selected).
