Your wish has been granted.

1. Select the text.

2. `C-s' or `C-r' (isearch forward or backward)

3. `M-y' (copy the selected text as the search text

4. `C-s' or `C-r' (isearch forward or backward)

The Emacs manual is your friend. See node `Isearch Yank'.

(You can of course bind `F3' and `S-F3' in place of, or in addition to, `C-s'
and `C-r', if you really want those keys.)
