They don't.
Run TextEdit. Open two text windows. Activate the first of them (whatever it
means). Open Find panel, and start entering text to its textfield. Now
- the Find panel is the key window (since it has the First Responder);
- the first document window is the main window, though (the one which
contains the current document, and to which the Find panel belongs to);
- the other document window (there might be, in principle, any number of
them) is just inactive: the panel does not belong to it, and won't alter its
contents.
