To me it makes a lot more sense to have this ability( same find across multiple members) when you have related source open. For example: a maintenance pgm and its dspf. I can do a find in the dspf, then switch to the pgm source and then do the find to look for where that field is changed.

This has actually changed in a later service fix of 5.1 (5.1.0.3?). It was suggested in this newsgroup (see short-lived thread "find in multiple members"):

  In SEU I can edit one member, press F15 to browse another.  Find

The view-scoped settings do make a lot of sense, given that each edit view has its own live-find dialog (showing or not), each with its find / replace settings.

Your proposal for a preference option in this matter sounds reasonable - allow one to choose the scope of the find and replace strings (global / document / view). I'll see what can be done.
