Please take a look at what I committed to HEAD. At least in english the wording still works for me. If people agree it can be merged to FW_3.

I agree (first option).

I agree, the first option is both intuitive as well as simple... and simpler == better.

I prefer the first option. Other opinions?

The Basic Search form features four fields, viz., from left to right: Find (the search field), Matching (the search argument), From (the address book to be searched), and Search (the submit button). A user will normally fill in these fields from left to right, ending with the Search button. Now, if the user selects, in the From field, an address book, the selection in the Find field is reverted to its default. This may well go unnoticed, so the user will eventually miss the desired result. Two possible solutions: - put the From field to the left, - or keep the selection from the Find field, if the newly selected address book has a search field named as the previously selected one.
