couldn't find an open bug for this, so...

when the Search widget is open in the mailnews 3pane window, [shift]+tab will
not bring it into focus. [nor does [shift]+ctrl+tab or [shift]+f6, but that's
not surprising since those aren't really implemented for the 3pane yet.]

there's no keyboard navigation available to bring focus to this widget [unless
i'm missing something!]. i need to mouse+click to access the Search widget. this
is analogous to not being able to focus the Sidebar in the 3pane.

Depends on: 106943
In addition, mnemonics need to be added as well. "S" in Subject and "A" in 
Advanced. Should that be a separate bug?

filed bug 111031 for access keys [mnemonics].
I've got halfway with this - tabbing works but the focus ring needs fixing.

I've just realised that the Advanced button doesn't need to be in the tab order...

Actually the best way to resolve this is to change the key used for the focus
ring from [Shift+]Tab to Ctrl+[Shift+]Tab, then Tab will work for the search
widget, so
IMHO this bug is a dup of 78269.
78269 is taking care of this, so marking it as a dup.
