I would like to know what key or key combination opens the search field in Blender 2.8 on a Mac. Can anyone answer this? "F3" does not do it. Thanks!

You have to hold down function (fn) then hit f3.

$\begingroup$ Unfortunately, doesn't work for me. I am on a Mac, but using an external Windows-like (German) keyboard. None of the function keys are actually recognized, even when trying to manually map them. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 15, 2020 at 18:37

If this is not working for you maybe you can change your hotkey for that. You can read about Keymap editor in the link below. The Keymap editor lets you change the default hotkeys. You can change keymaps for each of Blender’s editors. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/preferences/keymap.html

I kept right click select keymap ... So for me it is still Spacebar
