Bug Description
When using ctrl-f to search for a word, the cursor jumps to the first result, good.
Jumping to the next result is then not possible without using the mouse by clicking on next because the focus is again on the editing widget. I would suggest leaving the focus on the search field and allowing to press enter again to jump to the next search result. That would be in line with many other applications working pretty much like this (firefox, chrome, vim, libreoffice, ...).
Stopping the search and going back to editing could be done with the mouse or pressing esc (it seems that is already in place).

IMHO, using Strg(Ctrl)+G is more widespread and therefore should be used also in Zim, but as I tested now in Firefox, pressing enter has the same effect.
