Bug Description

I do not know, whether this is intended, but I perceive it as a bug:
ctrl+f for search, type some query and hit enter. If string is found the keyboard focus shifts into window, so if you want to continue by enter to next occurrence you have to switch back to search panel again, which is quite unconvenient.
i'd suggest the default is that the focus stays in search panel.

Hello my,

I am not sure I understand the issue you are trying to point out, but jumping to the next occurrence should not be possible via pressing Return at all. There is a separate action called "Find next" usually mapped to Ctrl+G or F3 depending on the desktop environment. So the workflow would be: Ctrl+F for search, type query and press Return, focus shifts to document view which highlights first occurrence, press Ctrl+G/F3 to jump to next occurrence.

Best regards, Adam.

I guess that depends on the environment :)
In many apps focus stays in the search dialog and hitting enter again is equivalent to your F3.
But as said in the beginning if this is the way you intended it to be feel free to close this "bug".
