This almost certainly wouldn't work as you expect. The problem: virtual libraries. VLs are implemented as a wrapper around searches, e.g., (VL_search_expression) AND (user_search_expression). Toggling the option would change *both* search expressions, probably breaking the VL. A similar thing would happen with searches that contain saved searches.

The option in Search / Preferences is best treated as set-and-forget.
