What's the difference between: <Search> & <Search for Selected Text> ?
Thanks.

<Search> opens a blank Quick Search Pane.

<Search for selected text> initiates a quick search with the selected text as topic of the search.

Hi $Bill,
Thanks for your clarificaiton. I'm surprised that the <Search for selected text> means exactly what it states in plain English provided some text has been selected.
Thanks again.

Hi $bill,
Your explanation is crystal clear in accordance with the manual.
But has you actually tried it out on the latest version of UR?
The reason that I raised the question is a bug. That's it doesn't work as you defined.
I also discover the cause of the bug:
After the first search, say, "kinook", UR will embed the first search in the Advanced setting | (Item) contains keywords "knook".
Henceforth, all new <Search for selected text> will fail.
This bug didn't occur before 5.1.

Then, I tested the afore-mentioned bug again with the keyboard shortcut removed.
Using the menu, that's, Edit | Search for selected text, works fine.
Anyway I just wrote a script to simulate <Search for selected text>. Please don't won't worry about it.
