@Cor Nouws, V Stuart Foote:
Butch here, the author of the duplicate (see above). (My report was
completely independent...)

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.

My English is not good enough, I don't understand exactly how you comment
this issue, but I would say: 

Your English is fine :-)

There should be no doubt that this basic searching method (with Ctrl+F as
one of the oldes shortcuts in computers!) should be free of all confusing
side considerations, attributes etc. A visitor who likes to show something
in a document on my computer should be sure that Ctrl+F works without
restrictions.

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.
