Just because you use shortcut keys doesn't mean everyone else does. Most non-power users from a Windows background (ie. 95% of them) are much more comfortable and familiar with using a GUI than shortcut keys. And even if 99% of people used shortcut keys it still wouldn't be a reason for the Find dialog to be innaccessible via GUI.

If nothing else, it might not even occur to people that there would be a Find dialog for mIRC windows. Seeing as it's not listed on any menu and most people won't just randomly type key combinations to see what features are available it's entirely possible that someone wouldn't ever know it was there.
