More comments (as I do searches very often):

(1) Although my original enhancement request was for Ctrl+F and Ctrl+H to find
Values by default and the informal survey supports that approach, I equally
agree with the logic of having a default search for all (Values, Formulas and
Comments).  As stated that would simply cover all search cases.

(2) Keeping the default search type the same for Ctrl+F and Ctrl+H provides
consistency.

(3) For Ctrl+H changing the default search choices would be easier if: (a)
Other Options were always displayed. The Find Bar already provides slim search
tool. (b) Instead of a selection list, check boxes where used for Values,
Formulas, Comments. This is more flexible as the user could select more than
one choice. Reconsidered layout of Find & Replace might be in order as well.

(4) For Find Bar (Ctrl+F) the I suggest the English label "Formatted Display"
should be changed to "As Formatted".  (I had to check the release notes to
determine the purpose of that check box.)

(5) I like the idea of user control over the persistence of the Ctrl+H choices.
This could be accomplished by (a) saving ALL choices to the user profile or (b)
the suggestion stated elsewhere of an Expert Config option to change the
default search type (and perhaps other search settings such as Columns instead
of Rows).
