Set default search column in Interactive Report

Question

Hi All:
In APEX 4.0, for "Interactive Report" search function:
If user doesn't select a column name to search for (this is done by click Magnifier glass icon), the IR will search "All Columns" that contains a string you have typed in the search bar.
Is there a way to configure IR so that, by default, it will not search "All Columns", instead, it should search a particular column that I will specify when define this IR report.
Why I am asking this? Here is my case:
I have created a IR report to search employee information. By default, when user enters a string in the search bar, user want to search "Emploee Full Name" column in my IR report. User wants this default search behavior and really doesn't want to "click Magnifier glass icon and select "Employee Full Name" column; then type the search string).
Basically, in my case, the IR report should default to search "Employee Full Name" if user doesn't select any search column.
Any idea how to achieve this?
Thanks!
Kevin

In the above DA, Changing the 'Event Scope' to 'Dynamic' should trigger it after PPR. I tried it but it's not working for me.
Try the below it's working for me as expected,
Create DA like below,
Event: After Refresh
Selection Type: Region
Region: Select your IR region
In True Action,
Action: Execute Javascript Code
Code:
$s('apexir_SEARCH_COLUMN_DROP','COLUMN_LABEL');                           
$s('apexir_CURRENT_SEARCH_COLUMN', 'COLUMN_ALIAS');
In Affected Element,
Selection Type: Region
Region: Select your IR region
Event Scope: bind (Default)
Make sure Fire On Page Load under 'Execution Option' is checked. (i.e. Fire On Page Load: Yes)
I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.07. It's working for me also in apex.oracle.come it's working in my example application.
Thanks
