When a floating window, as e. g. Find and Replace window, or a palette as Navigator, is open, it stands in front of your document window and the keyboard shortcut Cmd+W closes the palette and the document window at the same time. However you have the possibility to use a keyboard shortcut to close those windows, if they are active: you just press the escape key Esc, and only the floating window will close.
You can use that shortcut to close the panels in Mac OS X, as Font panel, or Search and Replace panel, even though in those cases the current shortcut Cmd+W works perfectly.
If the palette is anchored, you can't close it without closing the document at the same time. You have to detach it as told in the Docking and detaching palettes page to close it without closing the document.
