The behaviour that you describe is simply how the IDE's search functionality is intended to work. You are expecting that when you search for text, the IDE will select occurrences of that text. However, it instead highlights occurrences.

There is no way (to the best of my knowledge) to alter this behaviour, short of writing an IDE plugin to implement your own search functionality.
