In the Delphi 12.2 IDE, if I select something to search for, then hit CtrlF, the Search selection checkbox automatically gets checked (as does the Entire Scope checkbox, but that does not bother me):

The result is that I always get an initial hit on what I just selected. Is there a way to prevent that (waste of time)?

Once you find it is easy:

Just don't select the word you want to find. Put the cursor in it, then search. The whole word will still be searched for but the checkbox remains blank:

Both things work like this since at least Delphi 7 (2002) - you don't even need to "put the cursor in it" - you can even leave the text cursor at the start of a word/text (as usual when doing Ctrl+Left/Right).
@AmigoJack: Yes, that's how I do it. Ctrl+Left to the beginning of the identifier, then Ctrl+F.
