I have to agree here.  For some reason I always thought it was Ctrl-L...  It'd be nice to know of a way to 
either link a GtkEntry to the search, or provide a toggle button to pop it up.  (In fact, I think the 
open/save dialogues should have their main entry linked to the folder and file views, so they both track the 
file being entered.)

Something else I'd like to see, is providing the extra characters from the first matching file/folder 
"pre-selected", ie. entry completion/prediction.

If anyone has example code to do that, I'd be most interested.
