Quick update from upstream to confirm that this is  a change in behavior
from previous versions as the reporter states in that within previous
versions, Ctrl+F would open the Find (and Replace) dialog while now
Ctrl+F opens the quick search input area. The two behave differently
when the enter key is pressed. Previously, quick  search was Ctrl+K. The
Find and Replace dialog is now by default, Ctrl+H.

So, the previous behavior can be restored by changing the keyboard shortcuts so that Ctrl+F opens the Find and Replace dialog. Pressing enter  multiple times in this dialog cycles through matches in the document. To change the keyboard shortcut, users may either:
(1) Download and install the plugin at
https://github.com/nacho/gedit-accel-editor
enable it via Edit->Preferences->Plugins->Edit Shortcuts
and then change (and view) shortcuts via the Tools->Edit Shortcuts menu.
(2) Enable the "can-change-accels" key in org.gnome.desktop.interface with
dconf-editor. Then with Search->Replace highlighted in the menu, press Ctrl+F to make this the new shortcut.
