As  JOPLOmacedo stated  ctrl   F is what you need  but if you can t use that shortcut you can check in menu   Find -  Find     and there you have it  You can also set a custom keybind for Find going in  Preferences -  Key Bindings - User  As your request for the selection only request  there is a button right next to the search field where you can opt-in for  in selection

ST2 has a feature for changing multiple selections at once     Double click the first instance of 0 that you want to change   Press the key for Find- Quick Add Next  to select the next instance of 0  and repeat until you ve selected all the instances of 0 that you want to change  If this method selects an instance that you want to skip  press the key for Find- Quick Skip Next  Verify that the multiple highlighted fields are what you want to replace  Next  type in  255  and it should modify all of the selected instances simultaneously     Look at the Find menu on the menu bar to find the correct shortcut key for your system  For vanilla Windows  the menu tells you that Find- Quick Add Next is Ctrl D and Find- Quick Skip Next is Ctrl K Ctrl D

Select the item you want to replace  double-click it  or Ctrl - F to find it     Then do a  Ctrl - Apple - G  on Mac  aka   Quick Find All    to HIGHLIGHT all occurrences of the string at once  Now just TYPE your replacement text directly    All selection occurrences will be replaced as you type  as if your cursor was in multiple places at once     Very handy

On a Mac you can can select the text that you are after then press      cmd   ctrl   G  This will select every instance of your selected text within the same document  If you now start typing to replace your original highlighted text  you will replace all of the other occurrences at the same time

This frustrated the heck out of me  and none of the above answers really got me what I wanted  I finally found the answer I was looking for  on a mac if you do     option   F it will bring up a Find-Replace bar at the bottom of your editor which is local to the file you have open   There is an icon option which when hovered over says  In Selection  that you can select to find and replace within a selection  I ve pointed to the correct icon in the screenshot below      Hit replace all  and voila  all instances of  0  will be replaced with  255      Note  this feature is ONLY available when you use     option   F   It does NOT appear when you use     shift   F    Note  this will replace all instances of  0  with  255    If you wanted to replace 0  without the quotes  with 255  then just put 0  without quotes  and 255 in the Find What  and Replace With  fields respectively    Note    option key is also labeled as the alt key     key is also labeled as the command key

I know this has been answered many times  and all are correct  but I though I would add another   Similar to the Ctrl - D method to select individual occurrences of the current selection  you can select all occurrences in the file with Alt F3 when using Windows or Linux  CMD CTRL G in Mac world    This is helpful for mass-changes
