It's nice having the ability to enter the search text and then have a way to search forward or reverse. It's true that a lot of packages have a way to find text within the current document but it can be be very helpful to use this to get to the wanted section of a document and then use the on-screen find to locate something specific in that section without moving around in it. It's just one more way to move quickly around the current screen and get to information you really want.
