Global search: a small suggestion

A quick request: would it be possible to make the scope of the global search/replace to default to "Hits list" instead of "database" (at least when there is a hits list)?

It feels very dangerous to default into changing stuff in the whole database, and I suspect that in most cases it is indeed the hits list that one wants to modify?

Is this something that others want, too?

I'm not sure I understand the Q; might have something with me being Danish... :)

Niklas wants Bookends to use "hits list" as the default when you open a global change dialog. Now it's "database" (i.e. the change will affect all records -- you can change this to hits list, if there are references there, before making the change, of course.

I think in general the default should be the safer option, so I support the proposed change.
