Look at the double up and down arrows at the bottom of the vertical
scrollbar. The circle between them is a button that controls the "browse
mode". Whenever you use the Find or Replace dialog, the browse mode is set
to Find Next and Find Previous -- these commands are assigned to the double
arrows and to the Page Up/Down keys.

To get back, click the circle and choose the page icon (the tool tip shows
"Browse by Page"). Notice that there are other things on that panel that you
can browse by -- fields, tables, graphics, etc. -- that you can also set
through the Edit Go To dialog.

trying to "find."
