If I understand your patch correct, it would change the default behaviour to do exactly that what my PL does, but per default and without a hidden preference.

Correct.

...but I think a hidden preference may be better than changing the default behaviour without allowing users to fall back to the old default behaviour.

IMO, a preference is not needed here and was only suggested as a result of a misunderstanding of the desired behaviour. Perhaps I'm missing the use case for not wanting the search text to be updated. If the reason to jump back to the Find dialogs without updating the text is to click the Find Next/Previous buttons, then one can simply use the keybindings for this (Ctrl+g and Ctrl+Shift+g by default). If the reason is to jump back and change some of the options without updating the search text, one can simply press Ctrl+f followed by Up to recall the previous search string before changing the other options.

Is there another use case I'm missing?
