--- Comment #11 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
Nitpick: clicking on a cell does *not* result in a selection, just an active
cell; note also that the dialog's "Current selection only" is not automatically
activated for just an active cell, because it is *not* a selection, and
activating "Current selection only" does not magically result in the cell being
selected, so the subsequent action of "search in selected cells only" of course
does not find anything.

To *select* 1 cell, Ctrl+Click the cell again, or select it with the keyboard
sequence Shift+Down followed by Shift+Up, or Shift+Right followed by Shift+Left
(or other combinations of invert direction selection).

Also, the differentiation between active cell and selected cell should not be
eliminated as it can lead to ambiguities as comment 1 lined already out; as is,
the differentiation and non-presence of a selection makes many state checks for
range or multiple selections unnecessary.

If there is no selection then the "Current selection only" option could be
disabled; however, note that the dialog is non-modal and un-/selecting cells
while the dialog is open is possible, so dis-/enabling the option should follow
the then current state, not being a one-time-set.
