is Search/Find really a function that Dia is likely to add at a later
state?

The convention seems to be Ctrl+F for find and Ctrl+G for find
again, or find and replace.  (note: G is beside F on the keyboard).

Personally i think that any reasonably complicated application (Mozilla
for example) should combine the Find and Replace dialogue and the dialog
should be modal making a seperate keybindig for Find Again redundant
