[plt-scheme] Replace & Find in v4.1

The (perhaps only slightly) more sensical generalization of those
rules is that when the selection matches the search string, you can
replace & find (so when the search string is empty and you don't have
any thing selected, it will replace nothing with the replace string).

Did you try the anchor'd search? Do you find that to be more intuitive?
