You can do this in 5.2 (didn't try previous versions).. Also if you think it is a bug/regression/missing feature, then report it in LO bugtracker, not on random forums on the internet.

just downloaded 5.3 and no you cant. also ctrl+f doesnt open a dialog(anymore) but a toolbar at the bottom (nice for quick text editing but not searching a sheet). I have to press another button on that toolbar to get a "search and replace" dialog then i have to find the correct checkmark to tick to search only selection and then i have to find the correct button to press to search instead of replace. Talk about inconventient workflow. The default behavior of crtl+f should be to search only the selection in the first place.

So in other words, you CAN do it after all - it is just inconvenient.. Anyway, as I said.

Not relevant at all. when i press ctrl+f i want to search and i want search options. I dont want to press cTRL+h for search AND REPLACE and then finding the correct button among 20 buttons.

Every program in existence uses the Ctrl + H combination for search and replace. There's no need to find a correct button unless you're a complete computer noob. Ctrl + F will always be reserved for searching, not replacing.
