Is there a way to default to "All Work Items" in RTC client work item search bar?

Is there a way to have the RTC client work item search bar always default to "All Work Items"? It seems to always default to "All Unresolved Work Items" which is generally useless to me. I'm willing to modify some configuration file to force the default if needed.

My RTC 4.0.1 client makes those two 'radio' buttons which stick between sessions.
I seem to recall RTC 3 behaves similarly.

@yzwkzfn: Interesting, are you using the eclipse client?

I'm using a 4.0.3 milestone eclipse client, but I used 4.0.1 before this and the behavior is the same in both. As you can see in the pic, it's not radio buttons for me plus if I restart my RTC, the default always returns to "All Unresolved".

I am.  It appears the same way in 4.0.1 and 3.0.whateveritisihave.
I am on RHEL 6.x, so behavior may be different.

 Hello Bo,
verified in our latest code - com.ibm.team.workitem.rcp.ui.internal.quicksearch.QuickSearch
constructor uses the the All all unresolved query as default, and then adds the All WorkItems query.

So to answer your question : it is not possible.
However - you may want to open a new enhancement request - so we could add any private / shared queries to populate this menu.

Thanks.
Eric.
