Turn off Visual Studio Find Default Selection

Tags:

When I Ctrl+Shift+F in VS2010, it puts whatever is near my cursor in the "Find what:" box - this is very irritating and never what I want.

Is there any way to make it default instead to the last thing I searched for?

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Find and Replace -> Automatically populate Find What with text from the editor

If you uncheck this option it will default to the last thing you searched for.
