Feature Request: Insert selected text on buffer-search-forward

[Janfel]

It would be handy to have a feature, toggleable of course, that automatically copies the current selection into the input field of buffer-search-forward, when Ctrl+f is pressed. There should probably also be a check if the selection is longer than, say 50 characters, in which case it is not inserted.

The command buffer-search-word-forward handles the case where what you want to search for is a word/symbol for what it's worth. It does not handle arbitrary text of course, but I thought I'd mention it in case you've missed it.

That is almost exactly the thing I wanted, thank you.
