I have to disagree. I like it the way it is because I often know the
names of the package I want to find.

Synaptic stores the value in /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf
("LastSearchType"). So you could just make a simple script that uses sed
to change that value to 1 (which corresponds to Description and Name)
and then runs synaptic.

Title:
  As an occasional synaptic user I want the "Find" dialog to default to
  "Look in: Description and Name" at program start, to be able to find a
  package I look for without irritation.
