Nautilus (aka "Files") is the primary way of finding files in GNOME, and its search functionality has been significantly enhanced for 3.6. GNOME Search Tool isn't as effective in comparison and duplicates functionality provided by Nautilus. It would be better to leave gnome-search-tool out of the default desktop install. This would have the added advantage of helping to de-clutter the application view.
