I don't think that is right. Medusa should not go in Edit->Find. People 
expect Edit->Find to search in the currently viewed document. Not launch 
the search engine from hell.

On the other hand, views embedded in nautilus (text view, html view) 
should use Edit->Find and Ctrl-F to search in them, so having it mean new 
folder in a directory view seems confusing. I'll probably go with 
something like Shift+Ctrl+N.
