Is there a way to search and change text in selected area only ?

There are no visible options in "Search text" to do so.
I am using Eclipse Oxygen - the latest version.

If you select some text, and then press Ctrl-F, the search/replace dialog will be scoped to only the selection (and then the text, at least on Windows, is colored differently in that case than just the normal selection color).
