Your wish has been granted.

1. Select the text.
2. `C-s' or `C-r' (isearch forward or backward)
3. `M-y' (copy the selected text as the search text
4. `C-s' or `C-r' (isearch forward or backward)
The Emacs manual is your friend. See node `Isearch Yank'.
(You can of course bind `F3' and `S-F3' in place of, or in addition to, `C-s'
and `C-r', if you really want those keys.)
