I do declare war upon the nature of changing defaults. It is forever
unacceptable. Instead we make things customizable. I think your
solution below is good.

The user's kfindrc is rather sparse and I don't know of any global kfind configuration file. Perhaps KFind should remember the last chosen options in the Properties tab and save them, much like is already done with the file path history.

This seems suitable. I really prefer the "remembering" the last
settings as apposed to "saving" settings. however my app is left, is
how it should come back.
