According to Microsoft documentation Ctrl + PageUp / PageDown in fact does “Move to the previous browse object” / “Move to the next browse object”. You may find it does not work as Find Next/Previous depending on your browse settings.
Alt Ctrl Y or Shift F4 are I believe more reliable as Find Next.
Alternatively, for those who like consistency, you can set Shift F3 to do Find Next via the Customize Keyboard shortcuts feature, (see button at bottom of Customize Ribbon in Options).

The rest of the bloody world, INCLUDING Microsoft uses “F3″ for find Next, but in Word we gotta do “CTRL-PGDN”, wtf?! Is a little bloody consistancy really THAT much to ask?!

On Mac OS X, use cmd + PageDown.
Also, ctrl/cmd + PageUp finds the previous instance.
