Although find is less flexible than search, it requires less keystrokes and is therefore faster.

For example to find the next file beginning with 'c', you can type fc instead of /c<enter>. Technically /c<enter> will match any 'c', not just at the beginning of the filename, so you would need to enable globsearch and type /c*<enter>.
