Navigate Search Bar Focus

When using any app (Example: View Drawing) when launched, the system takes you to the search page. How do I get the cursor to automatically be in the search bar. I want users to be able to start typing right away when they see the search bar, no need to click in it before typing.  Not a coder, but I believe this is something to do with autofocus?

I brought this question to R&D, and learned that the current behavior is hard-coded, and there is no configuration parameter or other attribute that will allow you to change where the focus goes when the page is opened.

You could try looking into Custom CSS applied to that mashup, defining the focus

You would not be able to change the CSS styling of the Composer while keeping the support.
