Ok. Got it.

In multiple tabs
1. For tab1 do Ctrl + F.
2. Search for some word.
3. Go to tab2.

User can continue searching using previous and find next.

4. Now in tab2 itself he wants to dismiss that find using Esc.

But user is unable to do so.

hit Ctrl-F to refocus the bar and it works.  I don't think hitting Esc should
work globally, it seems more than a little suboptimal.

It's beyond suboptimal, and into impossible: F3 works no matter what has focus,
because it always means find again, but Esc's meaning depends on what's
focussed: if it's the content in general, it means Stop, if you have a select
menu or autocomplete popup open it closes it, and so on.
