I do a lot of find using the "In Folder" setting. A hassle is that actions often move the Find window to be not frontmost. The only easy way to bring it to the from is cmd-F, but this re-sets the "In: <where>" dropping down to the default, which is document.
I normally use the mouse, but just tried ⇧⌘F to refocus the Find window and it preserved the selected folder. That makes sense to me since ⌘F is supposed to be limited to a single document or selection, while ⇧⌘F is for searching something larger like “in folder”.
