Apostrophe initiates searching just in the text of links, which is a
useful feature for following links without reaching for a mouse or
pressing Tab hundreds of times (immediately followed by pressing
Shift+Tab about 3 times).

But that still doesn't explain why either of those keystrokes were
activating searching while a text area was focused.
