Press Alt-N after you’ve typed your search query. At least, that works for me (on Linux).
By default Find Next is bound to `<primary>g`. Menu->help->Keyboard Shortcuts shows a list of current keybindings.

Unfortunately that won't work as-is since the normal editor keybindings aren't triggered when the Search dialog has focus, which it gets when opened with Ctrl+F and keeps event after the Search dialog is activated to find a match with the Enter key. To use it, you'd have to re-focus the main window with Alt+Tab or whatever the environment uses for switching between top-level windows.
For "Find Next" from the Search dialog, you could just keep hitting Enter and it will find the next matches, for "Find Previous", you could use Shift+Enter and it will do the same but backwards (same bindings as the toolbar find entry).
The mnemonics, as James mentioned, are also usable and will trigger the actual _Next and _Previous GUI buttons inside the dialog. The search dialogs have mnemonic key bindings for most selectable GUI elements. I believe some environments don't show the mnemonic bindings by default, but pressing the Alt key should reveal them.

Correct, I interpreted "keyboard only" as meaning without the dialog open.
The other nice thing is that <ctrl>g works for searches initiated from the toolbar as well. In fact I have re-bound <ctrl>f to toolbar search and almost never use the find dialog. This provides a reasonable emulation of modern search as it happens in browsers and other tools.

I always have General->Miscellaneous->"Hide the Find dialog" on in which case you can just
1. Ctr+F 2. type what you want to search for 3. hit enter - the dialog disappears automatically 4. use keybindings for going to next/previous
