In the good old days when you hit ctrl-H in Excel, the Replace dialog would
appear with the focus set on the "Find What" input box not the "Replace With"
input box as it now does.

It is rare for users to what to leave the same entry in the "Find What" box
because, after all, they've already replaced it. Get it? Almost always, the
user is wanted to find something new to replace.
