Keyboard shortcut for searching object browser in Visual Studio 2012

I need to frequently search the object browser, so I need to find a way to speed up the process. There is a shortcut key to open object browser CTRL-W CTRL-J, but after the object browser is opened, I still need to use the mouse to move the focus to the search box. CTRL-TAB moves the focus around, but never to the search box.

Is there a built-in keyboard shortcut to search the object browser?

In English Visual Studio 2019 the default shortcut seems to be Ctrl-K Ctrl-R.

You can also use the search in Solution Explorer: Ctrl-;. Solution Explorer will now drill down to show you methods and properties.

In the middle of typing this question, I found a way to speed up searching in object browser. In visual studio options - environment - keyboard, there is an entry called View.ObjectBrowserGoToSearchCombo. I map this to a keyboard shortcut (for my case CTRL-SHIFT-/). Now I can open object browser and move the focus to the search box by just pressing this shortcut key twice.
