When I trigger a file search with scope "Enclosing projects" the search view will show up.

When I trigger a file search again, having the search view still focused, the scope will be forced to "Workspace". Of course this is due to the Search View being assumed to have no special scope and the Search dialog does not know, what "Enclosing projects" means. But actually the Search View could remember the issuing scope and hand it to the search dialog.

Thing is, that a workspace search is too general and takes too long. And when I trigger the new search with "no" scope it will remember this decision for succeeding searches. This should not happen.
