In excel, if you do not exit out of the search window, the cursor stays in the search bar, and you can type a new search criteria without having to exit then ctrl + f (and actually it highlights the search criteria, which is even easier, because you can just start typing your next search without having the clear out the prior one). Please add this function. Sometimes I'm just trying to make sure multiple things exist in a sheet and it's annoying to have to hit "Esc" then "Ctrl + f" every time. Should be a simple addition.
Or you have to click into the search, which is an even bigger time waster.
