That doesn't work for me. I've used rectangles a lot over the > years and have never seen query-replace and friends be constrained by > the currently defined rectangle. Are you sure? After you activate the (rectangular) region, you may need to use `C-x C-x', so point is before mark, because query-replacing moves forward from point. Works for me, with `emacs -Q' (no init file). ___ (But as I said, to limit Isearch (not query-replace) to the region you'll need library isearch+.el.)
