I have this command
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;;; Search the selected region
(defun site/isearch-region (start end)
"Start isearch with the contents between START and END."
(interactive (if (use-region-p)
(list (region-beginning) (region-end))
(user-error "No region")))
(when (and start end)
(deactivate-mark)
(isearch-mode t)
(isearch-yank-string (buffer-substring start end))))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-s M-s") #'site/isearch-region)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
that searches for whatever is selected. That also highlights every
occurrence.
