how to change the default search to "results" and not "headings" in word 2013?

Hello,

 whenever I do ctrl+f in word 2013, I get the search box for "headings" and not "results". this is terribly frustarting as now I have to use the mouse to click on results.

 how do I change the default behaviour?

Thank you

In a quick test, it appears that Ctrl+F opens the Navigation pane with the selection last used. For me, it opens to Results by default, but if I switch to Headings and close it, then the next time it opens to Headings. If I close Word with the Navigation pane displayed and set to Headings, it opens that way the next time, but if I close the Navigation pane before quitting Word, then it opens to Results the next time.
