make[ing] a mistake when searching...

My only issue with searching is with the type pull-down. 90% of the time I want a title search, while the default, at least for me and my browser setup, is keyword search. I probably have made the mistake of not finding something, thinking it was a title search, but a keyword resulted instead. Otherwise, search seems flawless to me - ie, problems are operator error (ie, my fault).

If anybody knows of a way to change the default... I'm all ears (or eyes, as the case may be).

Sometimes the search feature continues to flip back to keyword after I set it it to Title and clicked “search”. I think I’ve also had a space in front of the title text and didn’t see it and FR didn’t find that title with a space at the start. I think there are other quirks. I don’t know of any way to set the default. :)
