Search widget Flex Viewer 3.5 Search by Attribute default

[ScottThomas1]

How can I get the search widget to open with and default to 'Select by Attribute' (text search) instead of 'Select Features' (spatial search)?

Thanks! I was under the impression I needed to get into the source code, but that was easy.
