Select Find from somewhere. Go to the Type tab. Click on the first item in the Types list. Hit the J key. This selects the first item in the list which starts with J.

This is caused by JDK bug 4654916 ("JList and JTree should scroll automatically with first-letter navigation), see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4654916 It is fixed in JDK 1.5. I just checked it with JDK 1.5.0_05 and it works. I will not make any workaround for JDK 1.4 - marking as WONTFIX.
I've switched to JDK 1.5 for running NB, so this is no longer a problem for me.
