It is true that you do not have to use the menu in notepad and wordpad but you still have to open a dialog box which means that at the conclusion you have to hit escape to close the dialog. In outlook you just hit f4 enter your string and hit enter. There is no dialog box to close.
If you like notepad you will love notetab. It is a third party free replacement for notepad that incorporates some of the more useful features of wordpad and ms word yet it is primarily a text and html editor. I would use it as my primary editor but alas, it also uses a dialog box to perform searchs. This is probably not as important to users in general as it is to me. I perform between 200 and 300 string searchs a day as part of my job.

I'm pretty sure that up to Windows ME (and possibly even Windows 2000) you did have to go into the menus to get the find feature. Certainly, there was a point from which the Control+F feature was included.

Ctrl+f works just fine; and as has been pointed out by Andrew and others, F3 works in Notepad, Wordpad and Word to "Find Again" the last found item. Your "Find" string is remembered as long as you don't exit the application.
