This is the intended behavior. The new Polymer-based Material Design UI doesn't necessarily render content outside of visible portion of the screen so the standard Find-in-page feature is not guaranteed to find the relevant info, which is why the embedded search input field is focused on Ctrl-F.

It'd be nice to provide the same Find-in-page UI for material design pages, but I guess the work needed to bridge this gap is too daunting for such a non-critical lapse in UX.

this is intentional, though I've heard rumor that this behavior is being re-evaluated (with the "/" key as an alternative and not hijacking Ctrl/Cmd+f)
