Fine for me as temporary solution!
The annoyance of not understanding what happens with the Find bar is 
larger then the problem of having to set options again ..

Plus, what IMO is more important ...

... is the older discussion from ux at ooo (1) and an/more issue (2), about 
the unexpected, invisible reuse of options previous set in the F&R 
dialog and some inconsistencies/debatable choices made in the 
implementation.

Would be useful I guess to at least consider those too, before touching 
the code for a real solution.
