Default "Use extended find whenever possible" flag to false on new TestComplete installations
One of the performance hits that many users experience is if they have a lot of objects that are mapped using "Extended FInd". This can cause overhead in searching out and adjusting mapped objects making it appear that TestComplete is hanging or running very slow. It can also impact playback performance if there are a lot of compressed objects in the hierarchy, requiring a long search.
I've been recommending users to turn that option off and only use Extended Find on an as needed basis for some time now and this has been a workable solution for many users. It would be nice if, for a new TestComplete installation, that this option would be turned off by default in order to mitigate this "new user" problem.
