This is a clean install of 10.12.4.

No I have not. The only things I have changed in Finder prefs are to set "New 
Finder windows show: [HOME FODLER]" instead of All files and have turned off 
the "Show these items on the desktop."

The behavior is the same on both this iMac and on my MBP. option does nothing 
with command-F on either machine.

Ah, wait, there is a very subtle difference.

If there is no widow open, then command-f opens a new window and puts the 
cursor in the search field. If a window is open AND NOT SELECTED, command-F 
opens a new window and puts the cursor in the search field.

If a window is not selected, but open, opt-command-F puts the cursor in the 
search field of the existing window.
