Type-ahead searching is handled by gtk. Such searching is merely enabled or not. I'd forgotten- if not enabled, a search may still be initiated by <Ctrl>f or <Ctrl>F - that's a hard-coded gtk binding. So, instead of ignoring bindings to allow a search to begin, you could disable searching. You'd need to add gtk_tree_view_set_enable_search (GTK_TREE_VIEW (tvw), FALSE); into function e2_fileview_create_list(), say, at line 4800 of e2_fileview.c. Then make sure that <Ctrl>f is not bound to anything else.
