Hi Hannes,

However, the whole focus grabbing is certainly a potential source of confusion/problems. Yes, I think it could be the source of confusion. In Firefox, I have the "Search for text when you start typing" option selected (it's in the Browsing section of General tab). So that when I start typing, Firefox automatically starts searching on the page. If a link is selected, pressing Enter activates it. This feature works great for navigating javadoc for JDK 8 for example.

So if the focus is not in the search box, “stealing” it for the Search box could not be what a user intends.
