This is an excellent point.  I think Bryan Clark had some gedit mockups
from a long time ago that tried to address this.  This problem might be
more tricky in the context of the quick-search bar at the top of the
folder summary.

Another possibility for people who like the Firefox-style search is to
have two bindings:

        * C-f opens the standard search dialog, like we have now.
        
        * '/' opens the Firefox-like search.
        
I'm sure we all agree it'd be much better to have one search mechanism
though.

And in any case, I think it's worth trying this out and seeing what
falls out of usability testing.
