Default Storing find/replace combinations?

Is there a way to store FIND/REPLACE combinations so I don' have to re-key
them everytime.

For instance I frequently search for mutiple spaces and replace them with a
single space by keying ( ){2,} into the search box and ( ) into the replace
box. I would like to store this somewhere so I don't have to re-key it.

Record the search as a macro.

Replace
( ){1,}
with
\1
