Good catch.
The Search box is at the far right of the toolbar, and the command to get there
after interacting is VO + END.
That’s what happens when I type stuff in a hurry, and don’t proof read.
I agree that VO + F, should go to the Search box, but the original poster said
that VO + F, was not working for them, so I suggested an alternative method.

Hello,
First of all, at least for me the search box is at the end of my Toolbar not
the beginning, so I would expect VO-ENd to get there.
Secondly, when in the primary Mail pane, I always find that command-option-F
gets me to the Mailbox search box. The command-F search functionality is
usually set up for text string searches, like in mail bodies or word
processing. When you want to get to the search toolbar in a finder window or
someplace else that is providing a list of items you are trying to find which
item contains specific criteria it usually is command-option-F that does this.
Best wishes,
