I know I'm going to feel silly after someone answers this but I can't find it in the settings. When you do a text search in a query, by default after hitting F3 repeatedly until the end, once you get to the end, it pops up a box asking if you want to start the search over from the beginning. Well today I inadvertently clicked the "don't show this box again" checkbox. I looked in the settings for where to change it back to the default but I can't seem to find it. And when I search for it online I'm not even sure what to search for. Hoping someone knows where this setting is.

Thanks in advance!
