You have to go into preferences -> Common Options, From there, you will change the *default* Search and Replace.

As a further note, the search portion of Search and replace is a Regex expression. In Regex, . is a symbol that means *any* character. If you really wanted to search replace every . in a conversion, you would search for \. . (The backlash escapes the special meaning of characters, so \. means to search for . literally.)
