Preserve find record settings

I use find record a lot to quickly find a person. It always starts with all options (selections of what data to search) selected. That means I have to deselect them one by one before doing the "quick" search. For the first time, no big deal, but it doesn't remember my preference and after the tenth time it's becoming a bit of a nuisance.
Suggestion: remember the first setting or have a preference setting.

I agree those settings should be 'sticky'.
While on this topic, in FH V6.0.4 there is no
Help page for the
Find Dialog nor the
Find and Replace Dialog.
Even worse, the
Help > Index for
Find Record Dialog says
This program cannot display the web page!
BTW: The
Search and Replace Plugin has a
Search ONLY mode, has many more filter options, its settings are 'sticky', and they can be preserved in user defined
Presets.
There is a whole series of existing
Wish List entries on a similar theme of preserving settings:
Ref:101 "Remember Column Layouts Last Used for File" ~ Closed with FH V4
Ref:106 "Work With Data Windows to remember size and location" ~ Closed with FH V6
Ref:210 "Select Record Window to remember size and position" ~ Closed as duplicate of 106
Ref:359 "Property dialog mode to be remembered"
Ref:424 "Field to stay in focus on app switch" ~ Closed with FH V6
Ref:433 "Multimedia Records Window Column Width" ~ Closed as merged with 58
Wish List item
Ref 534 Preserve all Workspace and Window Characteristics has been created.

I saw some of the other request as well. I think the overall wish is (somewhat in line with the remember status request) to have a general remembrance of the past facility in FH. And, FH being software specialised in "the past", this must be child's play.
