Manually changing "translate" to "search" works well for me, thanks for 
the tip.

I personally don't care too much which is the default -- I don't search that
frequently and even manually changing URL is good enough for me.  But if 
you want input, I think LibreOffice is somewhat unique in that it has a huge
amount (~50?) of components and that relevant strings usually span over 
several components (e.g. cui/, sw/ and svx/ for a single UI terminology change).
So when using the "translate" view, the translator needs to switch back and 
forth between components, which is (1) slow especially from big latency places
like China, and (2) easy to lose track of when there are many strings (from 
different UI changes) to translate. Therefore, in my workflow I usually just 
start 
with a "search" view and open related strings from different components in 
separate browser tabs.
