In Preferences->Keyboard, select "View" in category and then the "ActivateSearchResults" Command, and assign ctrl-` (or ctrl-~) as a shortcut key. IMO this is an improvement on ctrl-tab, because it doesn't continue to cycle through all your other documents that you have open.

(I use ctrl-` because it lies right beside ctrl-tab, so the hand naturally falls there)
It took me a little while to figure out the "auto-hide" (Friday afternoon :oops:) but eventually I used my eyes. I am impressed. Much zippier than the old method of clicking Window->Search results. If I am not careful, I might start thinking that Ver 5 has improved things.
