You can search items in the Places panel by pressing CTRL + F. This opens a search field at the bottom of the Places panel where you can enter your search terms (see left).This feature is particularly useful if you have a large number of items your My Places folder.
For Mac, that would be CMD+F. I'm pretty sure on Linux that it's ALT+F.
