No, it is exactly a duplicate of what Cor reports in comment 0 -- that using
the Find Bar (Ctrl+F) is influenced by prior usage/settings of the Find &
Replace (Ctrl+H) dialog.

Exactly, but the issue to be worked out is exactly what is searched for and
when--and of course how to provide users control over the default behavior they
prefer. 

Clearly the linkage between the Find & Replace dialog and the Find bar is not
optimal. That leave a persistent setting for the Find Bar from a Tools ->
Options panel, or as Expert Configuration stanzas.
