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.

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.
