A shortcut exists for finding files (actually, and unfortunately, it's
limited to finding a single file) in the toplevel directory. As soon as
your files list or icons in Nautilus have focus, you can simply begin
typing a file name (but don't use the shift key for capital letters), in
order to select the first match.
If you do not have a problem with the Gnome search tool, other than
accessibility to it from Nautilus, you can add the ability to call it from a
right-click menu in Nautilus. Install Nautilus Actions, and create an
nautilus menu item for yourself. I use one with the following parameters:
Label: Search...
Tooltip: Search in directory using Gnome find tool
Icon: gtk-find
Action Path: gnome-search-tool
Action Parameters: --path=%d%f
Appears if selection contains: Only folders
