If you make a selection before bringing up the Find/Replace dialog, Find/Replace operations are now automatically restricted to the current selection:
 

But of course you can search the whole document too. Atlantis will automatically suggest to scan the document remainder when it has finished searching the current selection:
 

The new search scope is shown in the Find/Replace dialog:
 

The Atlantis Find/Replace also has a new "Find and Select All" command:
 

When you click "Find and Select All", Atlantis scans the current selection (if any) or the entire document for the target string. All found occurrences are automatically selected.

Let’s take an example. Let's select a portion of document, bring the Find/Replace dialog up, and type "Peter" in the "Find" box:
 

When you press the "Find and Select All" button, all instances of "Peter" contained by the selection are automatically highlighted:

Like any other multiple selection, the highlighted fragments can be formatted, copied, deleted, moved, replaced with a different text, etc.

As shown in the above screen capture, a dialog is displayed when the "Find and Select All" operation is complete. This gives you rough-and-ready information on how often a particular word or phrase is used within the selection or across the whole document, depending on the search scope.
