Yep, this is by design.

Any chance of it becoming a search pattern switch?

Probably better as a global setting/tweak? Looks like a set/tweak and forget thing to me.

*hmm* Not sure, figured the QS switches made more sense, but you're right a global might be better.

EDIT: If global can we ensure it is supported by the tweak SC? ;)
