Yes, it's an accessibility feature called Type Ahead Find which is
enabled by default in SeaMonkey.  In about:config you can disable by
setting these prefs to false:

accessibility.typeaheadfind
accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart

I've changed both to FALSE, as suggested -- thank you!

Does anyone know what "Type Ahead Find" is supposed to do?


 I think the default is well chosen.
I often to search in a page. It is anoying to have to enter CTRL-F then type. This way I can just type. I don't have the problems you have. To enter in a web box and not search just make sure the web box is selected first.

This feature is a huge time saver to me.
The problem is when the page is presented WITHOUT a webbox selected .... and in this case, i found very annoying this stupid feature - This is not because i type something that i want to search in a page.

CTRL-F is the best way of working. And CTRL-F is more interesting and doesnot dissappear suddenly(the feature dissapear in les than 2 seconds)

I also have changed both to FALSE, as suggested -- thank you!
