The problem is that a lot of the time ⇧⌘F is the user saying “I 
want to do a new folder search with my current project / selected items 
in the file browser” rather than “bring back the previous search I 
did”.

But I do run into the case myself, where I want to re-run a search on 
e.g. selected file browser items or a non-project folder, but has closed 
the window and thus there is no way to bring it back without resetting 
the “in” pop-up.

What I have been wanting to add is history to the find dialog with ⌘[ 
/ ⌘] to go back/forward in the history.

That way, one would be able to use ⇧⌘F followed by ⌘[ to open Find 
in Folder and get back to the previous search folder.

For me, as a heavy keyboard user, I *think* this would be a good 
solution. I’ll move up the item on my to-do.
