Peter, developers have tried a new and arguable approach here with some toggle magic that however widely ignores focus. it works like this:
first ctrl+f sets focus on qfb
second ctrl+f (while focus is still in qfb) sets focus on "find text in msg" bar
it's important not to close qfb
iirc, the important factor is not focus, it just somehow alternates between the two, with a preference for the qfb if that isn't visible, i think
which sometimes fails depending on how you operate with the "find text"

try ctrl+g to directly set focus into "find text", but it is not exactly the same as 2x ctrl+f
