I do not think that is a good solution because the customization buffer
might be a result of a search.
I don't understand "result of a search" or how that relates to the
issue. Could you please spell out your agrument?

It is an unusual behaviour I think. Maybe it is because it is tedious?
It was not tedious at all. To confirm when exiting is no more work
than giving the "Save" command.

I miss the Set button. IMO opinion the names you propose makes it a bit more
difficult to have a Set button.
Eliminating that distinction is part of the idea I'm considering now.
