Any operation involving regular expression based substitution of text, such as the ex-mode `:s` command. Not to be confused with the [replace] tag.

Why \%V is not added in visual mode during substitution by default?
\%V can be used to restrict match within the visual selection. However, I can't think of a situation when one would not want to do just that in visual mode.

Why \%V is not added in visual mode during substitution by default?
Probably because it can be achieved easily using a keymap.
xnoremap <expr> :s mode()==#'V' ? ':s' : ':s/\%V\%V/<Left><Left><Left><Left>

How to replace only within visual selection?
Set vnoremap :s :s/\%V\%V/<Left><Left><Left><Left>.
It adds \%V guards and places cursor in the middle. Use End or Ctrl+E to enter replacement pattern.
