FIND can be used to explore the overlay instance. It is particular useful
when updating successor list/neighbor table.
However, there are other techniques of exploring the overlay such as
obtaining the routing table of a node.
FIND may not be very useful in unstructured overlays.

It seems too specific to be in there just for the TURN server discovery in that

key-lookup based scheme that the base draft provides.
Other enhancements probably belong in a different draft that looks at enhanced
service discovery building on the key lookup.

Subject: RE: [P2PSIP] FIND request
I was wondering if someone could elaborate on the use case for the FIND request.
I am not sure what it is being used for exactly.
I think it's related to TURN server discovery procedure.
A generic search mechanism may be implemented on top of the DHT which may have
such indexing capabilities
and doesn't need to be specified in the draft.
I agree. I think service discovery should be extracted from the base draft. We
need a generic service discovery mechanism because p2p system is a
collaborating system.
