There is no need to implement this. Simply use Ctrl-A (_A_ like _A_gain) to repeat the search. Like all commands which require the user to specify parameters (e.g. Insert, Convert), the "Find Element" command is repeatable. We'll add a hint to the dialog box because you and probably most users didn't notice this.
