Setting a keymap

It turned out the plugin is not needed to search in visual select, just just the \%V atom in the search expression

vim.keymap.set("x", "/", "<Esc>/\\%V")
local rfind = require("rfind")
vim.keymap.set("x", "/", rfind.visual)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<F7>", rfind.visual)

Then press / in visual mode or F7 in normal mode to search in the last selected section.

Custom command

vim.api.nvim_create_user_command(
    "RangeFind",
    function(opts)
        local rfind = require("rfind")
        return rfind.range(opts.fargs[1], opts.fargs[2])
    end,
    {nargs = "*"}
)

Then typing RangeFind 10 50 will start the search between lines 10 and 50 (inclusive).
