With transient-mark-mode, and perhaps pc-keys, I can do S-move cursor then do a search, which selects a region, which can be deleted, cut, or copied. BTW, in Emacs v21.3.50.1, S-C-right/left no longer works properly: nothing gets selected. I first have to select at least one char with S-arrow, and then continue.
