With that description, the first thing that comes to mind is the EXT
selection mode but it doesn't seem to work with Find.

I'm noticing that Find actually replaces the current selection with the
found text, instead of "marking/highlighting" it without disturbing the
current selection. If this were not the case, then EXT, or even STD, would
do what he expects.

Thank you for the clarification.
