repeating a search a certain number of times

[Timur Aydin <ta@taydin.org>]

Hello,

I have been looking for a way to repeat a search a certain number of 
times, and from the documentation i have found the search-forward 
function to do that:

(search-forward "something" nil nil 5)

But unfortunately this isn't bound to a key. The docstring says it is 
bound to <find>, but I don't know what that means. It isn't a lisp 
function. I thought maybe it is a menu item, but can't see that in the 
menu either.

So my question is, how can I bind this to a key so that when I press it, 
it asks me for the string, then the repetition count and then goes ahead 
and finds it?
