That not GTK+ search but folder view search - i.e. context search.
Filesystem search UI is another thing and it will be bound to something
else of course.

You suggest Ctrl+Shift+F for upcoming filesystem search?

Exactly what it does already - it opens a box to fast-find a file in
the current context, i.e. directory. It does it for ages and that should
stay bound to Ctrl+F for consistency with everything else.

Agree completely. It's why I said "it's already bound" and nobody has
any desire to change that.
