Used to be you could hit the font drop down and then hit the first letter of the font you need and it would go right to the start of those fonts. You could also hit the home key and go back to the top.
Not any more!
I believe you have to make sure the font list is active, not the font name field. This means you have to click the down arrow next to the name field before doing a search like that. After opening the fontlist dropdown, searching is easy. Type three letters or more, and it will start filtering the list. Draw will search for any information, not only the name, and the result may be slightly confusing sometimes.Handy if you for example need italic fonts though, just type "ita". To use Home, End, Page Up and Down, I think you have to click the scrollbar first.
