There are many cases where you want to search from cursor. Of course it is only a small percentage of all searches. Most searches can be done with Alt+Up, Ctrl+h, Ctrl+Shift+Up, Ctrl+Home. A search in the whole unit is done with Ctrl+Home,Ctrl+F. Searches in many files is done with Ctrl+Shift+F. Search next is F3. So the remaining search is "search from cursor". And this is achieved with Ctrl+F. That's why it is the default. Formerly the From cursor/Entire Scope was saved. I don't know when this was broken. You are the first that notices it, so apparently the default is ok for most users.
