The number would be most of the people who use the keyboard shortcuts && who use 2 or more layouts && who don't want to change languages to search for something.

It's just muscle memory for me.

CTRL+T -> x <search_term> -> ENTER

Most often I enter <search_term> with CTRL+V, so the sequence is:

CTRL+T -> x CTRL+V -> ENTER

Nowhere in that sequence is the keyboard layout important (if you don't write anything, but just paste).

Just like CTRL+T works even if you're not writing in a layout where the "T" key is mapped to the letter "T", so should "x" work no matter what it's mapped to.
