By default the find and replace comment searches for formulas by row.
How do I change the default to search by value and column?

In the "Find & Replace" dialog window, don't you see an "Options" button?

Have you tried expanding the criteria choices by clicking on the small down
arrows on the right corner of the box?

yes-- that only changes the settings for one use. The next time you open the
excel application, it reverts back to the original defaults.

OH! ... That's what you're looking for.

I can't help you there, except to suggest recording a macro when you do it
once, and then activate it on subsequent replaces.

You might post to the programming group for some code.
