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.

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.
