Searching for dead files

Searching defaults to ACTIVE files
Is there a way to change the default to ALL FILES INCLUDING DEAD?When I upload files, I search to see if the files are there already. If they are not, I proceed with my upload.
But often my uploads are removed, because it turns out my files WERE previously uploaded but in the DEAD section.
If I had turned on ALL FILES INCLUDING DEAD I would not have made that mistake.
I've also noticed that DEAD files are often not so dead and they do download. Maybe they should be called DYING.
If a file is really DEAD, why not remove it entirely so someone else can re-upload it, resurrect it? -

Is there a way to change the default to ALL FILES INCLUDING DEAD?See that little down arrow next to the word "active" on the search bar? Click on it and be amazed!

Maybe it is different on your profile, but on mine, clicking on the down arrow and "All Files Including Dead" doesn't set a default. It reverts back to ACTIVE. I want to set it as my permanent default, like the categories of videos to filter

There is no way that I know of to change the default option. If you want to search including dead, this is something that you need to specify manually on each search.
