On Windows based machines, whenever a dialogue box pops up with multiple choice options (ie 'Abort', 'Continue', 'Retry'), you can use the 'Tab' key to cycle through those options without using the mouse.
On OSX, there doesn't appear to be an option to cycle through dialogue boxes using a key rather than the Trackpad.
Is there any keyboard shortcut to do this?
Yo ! Man, I got the best thing for you.
Just type some of your characters of word & press F5 & see the magic, It is what you want. Suppose your not getting the word rub some & get what you want.
Here is snap-shot of what you want. ( source of lots of shortcut keys )
Suppose, I am a user, I would do as follows.
simple & short just F5 does all for you, no need to press Cmd+: and then get correct one from list. It will give you list on the spot.
The Spotlight search box is the one in the top-right of the menu bar (commandspace). The Find search box is the one I think you're talking about, within a Finder window.
To get focus back to the search field, hit controltab or commandf.
Another option is found in System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts. There's a radio button near the bottom labeled "Full Keyboard Access". "All Controls" will let you tab through the other search fields without modifier keys.
That said, in my testing, there're some flaws. Some of the fields aren't selectable, and if you try to select one of those and then hit commandf, you can no longer tab through the other fields anymore—you have to open a new Finder window and start over.

It is also the tab key. The difference to Windows is, that the "return" key always pushes the default button (which is the colored one). The currently selected button (which can be changed using the tab key) is marked through a colored border. If you'd like to push this button, you have to press the space bar.
For this to work you must have it enabled in System Preferences / Keyboard / Shortcuts
