This suggestion is to add to the doctrine page after "floatplane search" a tick box for "no starting auto search"
Auto search is meant as the launching of scouts (torp planes or floatplane) at the start of battle.
The default is there should be some so new players benefit from it.
As a veteran player I almost always want to do my own search patterns espicially to avoid consumption of torpedo planes.
One factor that prevents this is after separate carrier formations are researched most of the battle ships are in a separate group. It is those BB and their escorting BC/CA/CL that carry float planes. The carriers often dont have many ships with only a few float planes so the carrier force search again is consuming attack planes. Manually I can send float planes from the BB group to cover the distant oceans to scout while the carrier task forces float planes might scout up wind where the carriers will be sailing.
