You can do it for an individual file, yes, but not as a general setting.

To do so open the file in Acrobat and go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and add a new item. Let's call it "scripts". Clear all the default code that is created and replace it with the following:

app.execMenuItem("Find");

Now save the file, close it and then re-open it. The Find dialog should appear automatically.
