Open find with options

The find dialog has an options button but it always opens with the options hidden. I literally always need to click that button to get to the options I need, or even to see which are currently set. Can Excel PLEASE remember that I clicked that button and leave options visible? Preferably between sessions too.

This is a very important note for developers.
I constantly sort all the data from my pages, they have a lot of interesting and useful things. https://qyto.co.uk/casino/hyper-casino/ This function would be very useful to me.

Agreed too. It will be more beneficial to have this feature active.

yep, the era of hiding things is over!
open source is the way to go nowadays.. so that search options area should be 'open source' too :-) wide open by default, remembering search in values instead of in formulas etc...

I agree. It even contains just a few options, not that unfolding will blow your screen estate ... so no reason to have the options button to begin with. If you ask me you can get rid of the options button and just show the options at all times. This also gives a clear view of the scope you are searching in, no more guessing what the scope will be.

I don't see any value in those options being hidden, show by default!

Please show the expended box, leave the options visible. I use this feature frequently, and often change options. It is much easier and more convenient for me to have the options visible without having to click a button.

Please either:
- Remember I clicked "Options" to make them visible
or
- Get rid of that options button and just show everything (preferred!)
