Yes, now that I open my eyes :( Sorry; being crap this morning...

I disagree. The other options in the context menu are specific to the
log message that the user right-clicks on:
- browse repository will browse repo at THAT revision
- create tag will create one based on THAT revision
etc
They belong in the context menu.

However, the "search log messages..." context item isn't dependent on
the current context, and therefore I argue that it's counterintuitive
to put it in a (or rather, that specific) context menu.

In my opinion, it would only be intuitive to put it there if it were
used to search *only* the currently-highlighted log item - which
*would* be useful if the log entry, or log file-list were long enough
that searching it would be useful.
