To use the 'Find Selected Function' command, first place the cursor on a 
word/symbol in a notebook (or select the word you need to look up), and 
then either press F1 or use the menu command.

Otherwise that command will just open the first page of the 
documentation centre.

No, those two search fields are the same.
