FWIW, I use several apps with this convention:

Ctrl-F = Open pop-up find UI. (F3 then usually repeats the previous
find invoked through that, and opens it if it hasn't been used in the
current session.)

Ctrl-E = Give focus to modeless search field that's already/always
visible (on a toolbar etc.).

So, at least in the apps I happen to use, Ctrl-F and Ctrl-E aren't
different hotkeys for the same action. The find dialogs usually offer
more options/complexity than the quick search fields. (Or, like in
Firefox, the search and find features look within different things.)

There are counter-examples; e.g. Visual Studio uses Ctrl-F for the
find dialog but Ctrl-D for the search field. Of course, there are also
apps which only have one thing or the other...

Ctrl-E is the first thing I'd try for a search field that was visible
in the current window, but if it didn't work I wouldn't think it was a
huge mistake (like if a really universal hotkey didn't do as
expected).
