Marc is correct. This command was not implemented in the new Browse Mode system due to its rare usage. Case in point, Window-Eyes 9.x has been publically available since November of 2014, and you are the first to write us about the deprecated control search feature nearly two years later.
The key is still listed because of the legacy Browse Mode system which is still used for Adobe Reader, iTunes, and PowerPoint.

Hi Don, I could be wrong, but I think this feature might have been deprecated when Browse mode was re-written. The enhanced control search mode topic is no longer referenced in the Window-Eyes manual. But, you are right, the hot keys for this feature are still listed in the Window-Eyes control panel. Please don't shoot the messenger. As an alternative, you could use Page Navigation to list all web page controls in a dialog. Then you could use first letter navigation to jump to the radio button of interest more quickly than navigating through all of them sequentially on the web page.

Hi, folks. I'm on the Menards web page with browse mode on. Presented with a series of check boxes on the water heater page--that's right, things are verrrrry cold in the shower about now---I wanted to hop back to where I was by finding the series of checked check boxes. Unfortunately, when I check a box, I'm booted to the top of the page and have to find my way back. I had hoped the specified control dialog would help me do that. Just to make sure I'm doing it right. I'm in browse mode. I'm at the top of the page. Not my choice, but... I press the keyboard slash character. Windo window-Eyes states, "Not a valid key press." I drop to the bottom of the web page and press the Shift-sslash key combination and Window-Eyes states, "In control search mode, not a valid key press." and then proceeds to do nothing at all. When I opened the Window-Eyes control panel and navigated to the browse mode hot keys, I did verify that the slash and Shift-slash hot key combinations are defined. Is it broken? Is Window-Eyes playing coy? I'm not dealing with rejection very well these days, so I'll go take a cold shower and wait for suggestions, verification, comiseration.
