No problem with the language -- your question is clear :)

Ctrl + F is not to search, it is to filter files, to show only one kind of file. To go back, right-click on the address bar (the bar above the files view that shows the path) and choose "All files (*.*)"

It is easier to use the quick filter box down at the bottom to sort files, it can be turned off with one click.

Does that help?

I think Ctrl+F should be changed in FC to "search", it's a standard in Windows and most of Windows programs. TC's shortcuts are not always the best and if someone wants to use these shortcuts, it's easier to change it for former TC user, then for normal Windows user.

I think so too. It is very hard to learn two or three or half a dozen conflicting sets of key commands, one for every program in daily use. "F" for "Filter" is logical only in a world where "F" doesn't already mean "Find" to almost everyone.
