You can transfer text to the search dialogue box in three ways:

 - F7, transfers the current selection.

 - F8, transfers the content of the clipboard.

 - c-W, transfers the word the caret is in. Subsequent presses will
   transfer the following words.

If you want to have this automatically you'll need to change the action
tied to F2, or create a new keybinding for it.

For example you could modify the F2 keybinding (in BaseMode) from

  F2   dbox_ListOfFound

to

  F2   dbox_ListOfFound Complete

The word the caret is in will then be entered automatically. Please note
that the option "Show 'previous' text in Search/Replace and LoF dbox"
in Global choices -> Edit must be off for this to work correctly.

Cheers,

Fred.
