Description:
Add the find [and replace] Scope, Origin, and Direction features (particularly, find and replace within a selected range) from Query Browser into Workbench. 

How to repeat:
In Query Browser select a block of text with the left mouse button.
From the main menu, choose Edit --> Find --> Replace.
Enter Find and Replace strings.
Choose Scope (i.e. All text or Selected text), Origin, and Direction options.

Suggested fix:
Add these features to the SQL Editor in Workbench.

Until this feature is available use Ctrl+H instead Ctrl+Shift+F to open the native search dialog of Scintilla (the control used for the editor). Which supports all the features you mentioned.
