Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
When triggering the Find / Ctrl+F modal, it would be nice to be able to select a Search Range option of Section which would present a combo-box option of mapped sections.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Searches can be slow on large binaries - would be nice to have a faster alternative to Custom Range

Research direction
Start with the Find/Ctrl+F modal and trace how the existing Custom Range search option is represented. Define how mapped sections would be presented in the proposed combo box and how selecting one should limit searches; done means Section is available as a Search Range and searches complete within the selected section.
