I believe that is my fault - my English knowledge isn't good enough to explain what I mean in details usually.
But still let me try to do that.

For the better explanation I have made a small scheme (see the attached image). This is a part of Russian and Ukrainian keyboard layout.

As you can see, since the version 0.2.9 (if I'm not mistaking) Midori launches quick search when the user presses "," (comma) key, which is in the upper register and thus needs the "Shift" modifier to be pressed. Just like the "?" symbol in the English layout.

The older versions of Midori used to launch quick search when user pressed the "." (dot) key when in Russian or Ukrainian layout. This is just like pressing the "/" key in English layout. This case didn't need the "Shift" key to be pressed also, so it had been much easier and more convenient to quick-launch the quicksearch.

This is what has changed in the latest versions of Midori and what makes me press the extra "Shift" key when I want to make a quick-search. While this is not lethal, this a kind of regress from the comfort point of view. This had been much easier and comfortable to use before, so what's the reason to change it?
Oh, and by the way, this feature (searching with the same key in any layout) was one of the reasons for me to switch to Midori from Firefox (along with the speed-dial and searchbar configuration features).

I hope, my new explanation using the attached scheme will make my point more clear. :)
