Find Replace Tool Find Setting

The Find/Replace Tool in the Join tools is set to "Find Any Part of Field".

 

However, 99% of time, I select the "Entire Field", hence would like there to be a way to have the Entire Field checked as my standard box filled in.

 

It would be nice if Alteryx knew which field is most likely what I will use, based on always checking that box, or for none of them to be selected, to make sure I will select the correct one.

 

Most of the times when I have a mistake its because of this tool and it being set to "Any Part of Field" and I missed to change it.

 

Would imagine most people use this tool to find an exact match?
