Yes, it is valuable. The Orca find allows the user to find elements of 
the screen that are not found using a built-in find feature.

For example, I have a friend who worked at a call center for a while. He 
used proprietary software that had many fields for data entry and 
display. The only way he could do his job well was to rely on the find 
feature of his Windows screen reader. He could search for the field name 
he needed and then either read the value for that field or move into the 
edit box/text area to add the required information. Similar situations 
could easily develop with software in Linux.

My two cents... keep the Orca find utility.
