IMO, we should get out of the habit of adding a pref at all every time we make a change. Not that I'm opposed to giving the user more control/options, I just don't think it's required to add a pref every time a bug is fixed.

Either way, I don't really care though, I've gotten in the habit of working around the current (mis-)behaviour by, whenever using Ctrl+F, just doing Ctrl+C before hand and Ctrl+V afterwards so the search text is always updated. I just don't think it would be a big deal for anyone wanting the current behaviour for whatever reason to have to press the arrow key once.
