I would like to second this.  Furthermore I'd like to suggest being able to
keep separate versions of the find window contents.  FileMaker has the very
nice feature of being able to record the find and sort status in a macro.
Later one can simply select a menu item to restore them.

The reason I like this idea is because I work with three or four major
topics  and I often don't want the rest of the references cluttering up the
window.  As a result I often us the find command to eliminate everything
that doesn't have the keyword associated with the topic I'm currently
working on.

For me this is a convenience feature not a priority. It's probably only
worth doing if it is part of a more general solution that solves other
problems, such as the "find duplicates" problem.  The "Universal Change"
(or "add if it doesn't already exist" to the current field) feature is FAR
more important to me.
