Search in intellij vs eclipse

Question

I recently moved to intellij-idea-12 from eclipse.

In eclipse if select a text and click 'ctrl+k' or 'ctrl+shift+k', it takes me to next/previous search text within the file.

In intellij if i do select text and click 'ctrl+l' or 'ctrl+shift+l' it is not taking me to the search text.

In intellij first i have to do 'ctrl+f', then only 'ctrl+l' or 'ctrl+shift+l' are working.

Is there any setting to make it work like eclipse searching.

Note: I am not talking about changing keymap in intellij.

With the caret on the word you want to search for (or with the text highlighted), press CTRL+F3. After that, you can just press F3 to find the next occurrence and SHIFT+F3 to find the previous occurrence.

Note that I am still using version 11.1.5

Without pressing ctrl+f3, i want search using by just selecting the text and pressing f3/shift+f3... It is possible in eclipse – Shanmukhan Jun 28 '13 at 17:40
@Shanmukhan If you don't like pressing CTRL, you can remap the "Find Word at Caret" option to just F3 and then you would only need to press F3 and SHIFT+F3 – DannyMo Jun 28 '13 at 18:06

By default it's ALT+J to move down and shift+ALT+J to move up.
