Expecting to do it in one keystroke is unrealistic! One could special case it, so a function key did search for the second t, but how often would you use that feature?

On my system, with bash 4.2, I would type

M-2 C-] t

Meta 2         sets the argument to 2
Control ]      is bound to 'character search'
t              is the character to search for.
