The Search and filter preferences page is accessed by selecting Options, followed by Preferences and finally Misc from the main menu bar.

These settings specify the default settings for the Search and Filter dialogs. You can change the settings in the dialogs whenever you use the Search or Filter tools, these are just the default values.

Default search options
