Consider filing a bug for this: `M-x report-emacs-bug'. Most keyboards do not
have a <find> key. A better default binding should show up in the help. But it
seems that no other key is bound to `search-forward' by default.
That no other key is bound is probably not a bad thing, but then why bind a key
(<find>) that is basically only logical (doesn't exist for most keyboards)?
You can bind your own key to `search-forward', of course.
