You might be interested in these:

⌘E - use the selection for Find
⇧⌘E - use the selection for Replace
⌘G - Find next
⇧⌘G - Find previous

I use ⌘E then ⌘G all the time. It’s so nice to not have to pull up a separate window for this.

These work in any Cocoa app. They won’t work in Carbon and X11 apps (like Firefox, Eclipse, MS Office) which is the main reason I don’t use them.

There are more, but I think most of them are TextMate specific. Take a look at the Edit → Find menu in TextMate to see them all.
