I knew there was a reason I subscribed to this list—I’m not a power user; but once every few months a tidbit like this comes along. Thank you. I found the default response confusing and annoying. But no doubt others like this feature. Nice to know we have choices.

You can change this default behavior by quitting TextMate and using the following command in Terminal:

defaults write com.macromates.textmate alwaysFindInDocument 1

When you restart TextMate it will always perform the find in the Document even if there is current a selection.
