Searching without Ctrl+F? If you mean Type-ahead find, then see this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=150

Also, the number of matches found should be right there in the find box
itself (as in "7 of 9").

Yes, we need to add support for searching textfields and I think it was
implemented in Webkit recently, so we might see it sooner than later. Here
is to hoping. :)
Anyway - that issue is being tracked in:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=269.
