Find should default to Current Document, Entire Solution, depending on context
VS2010 would default the Find dialog scope to the Current Document if hitting Ctrl-f from within a document; and Entire Solution if selecting Edit->Find and Replace->Find In Files / Replace in Files.
Visual Studio 11 does not seem to have this capability. It appears to always use the last specified scope. If I last searched within Current Document, clicking Edit->Find and Replace->Find In Files still shows Current Document as the scope, when I actually wanted Entire Solution.

Spot on! And I can't believe how few people are talking about this! The problem is the SCOPE of the Find/Replace is now shared between both the Find control and the Find in Files dialog. This was NEVER THE CASE with older version of Visual Studio. There should be 2 separate scopes: one for the Find Control and one for Find in Files.
