I haven't seen this mentioned:   presumably you're aware of
Ctrl-[Shift]-F, one of the more useful long-running features of
StrongED, which doesn't do quite what you outline above but does open a
List of Found displaying all the occurrences of the current cursor word?
(Unless one actually requires a search & replace operation, I find this
is generally more immediately useful than using the search dialogue as
such....)
