How to set default scope to Directory in 'Find in Path' dialog

I'm pretty sure that on other computer when I've used 'Find in Path' or pressed Ctrl+Shift+F when I've previously selected directory, radio button 'Directory' in 'Scope' was checked by default. Now I must press Ctrl+Shift+F and press Alt+O additionally for searching in selected directory. Maybe that's some bug?

How to set my Find in Path dialog so it will be saving last search options? I see that it's saving options listed in 'Options' area in 'Find in Path' dialog. Scope is changing to 'Whole project' all the time.

I can't find that option in PhpStorm. I can't find similar problems/explanation of problem in google.

No bug here -- works as designed.

I can't find that option in PHPStorm, I can't find similar problems/explanation of problem in google.

There is no such (global) setting.

Some of the options on that dialog window will be set accordingly to the context (where it was invoked from):

  • if invoked from Editor (focus was in Editor when you pressed Ctrl + Shift + F) then it will be "Whole Project". In most cases that's exactly what will be needed.
  • if invoked while having focus in Project View panel .. then it will select that particular directory as default scope/path.

I realized, that if there is index update running, that's behaving in such way. When indexing is finished, everything works as I'm expecting (so, PHPStorm is searching in selected directory). I think it looks weird.
