My guess is that if the user tries command-F or the magnifying glass they know what they want, and it should do the move to search thing unconditionally. Those are not likely to be done by accident.
Oh I was thinking more when you hit the “X” to clear the text. Do you think it should focus the text field after clearing?
Yes, but I’m not totally certain, esp since in the new scheme, command F or the search key will select what’s in there. The x is almost unneeded.
@Simeon I believe that in 3.6 you’ve changed it so that touching in a selected area does not clear the selection. So if you’ve selected a whole method, for example intending to paste it into an article 
you can’t set the cursor anywhere in that method unless you touch outside of it first.
I’m not sure that’s ideal. And if you’ve selected the whole tab … I’m not sure what you do to get the cursor back.
Thanks!
@RonJeffries 3.3.1 is out with the Cmd+F / Find fixes. Let me know if this works better for you
will do, thanks
so far so good. still seemed to be times when command f didn’t take me to search. i’ll try to isolate. also there is no keystroke to take me back to the tab i was in. (tab would be a good choice). often i use search just to see the list, never touch it. again, i’ll try to do a more clear example. i think it is better … except …
i think it used to be that if i double-touched a method or variable to select, then hit search, that string was now in search. that was cool and seems not to happen. p.s. should not happen if the selection contains a newline
