Description from store You hate taking your hand off the keyboard all the time only to access the search bar of the website you’re visiting? You’d love to simply press Tab or a custom shortcut to focus the search field and start typing right away without ever using your mouse? “Search Box Focus” solves exactly these problems. It also comes with an “Autofocus” feature which allows you to access the search bar automatically without pressing any shortcuts. Simply activate it for websites where you do a lot of searching like Amazon or online dictionaries. Whenever you load a website that has “Autofocus” enabled or when you switch to it from another tab, you’ll find that the cursor is already in the search bar ready for you to start typing. The extension is completely free and open-source which means, no tracking or data collection. No ads! After installation, make sure to reload/refresh all open tabs before using the extension! Feel free to suggest new features, report bugs, and so on at: https://github.com/gignupg/Search-Box-Focus Credits: “Search Box Focus” mainly uses the search box detection code of this Github repository: https://github.com/CodeRevver/Focus-First-Input The extension icon can be found at: https://icons8.com/icon/48167/google-web-search

  • (2023-02-11) Auditormadness9: Awesome but please make the custom shortcuts be set in your own extension's environment because Chrome shortcut system doesn't allow many keys, and necessarily asks for Ctrl or Alt :/

  • (2023-05-15, v:0.3.5) Alfonso De Luca: Issue with Google Search
    Hello, It seems to no longer work in any way on google.com, google.it etc. domain with focus on Google Search bar input.
  • (2023-02-11, v:0.3.5) Auditormadness9: Custom Shortcuts
    Please make the custom shortcuts be set in your own extension's environment because Chrome shortcut system doesn't allow many keys, and necessarily asks for Ctrl or Alt :/
  • (2022-02-13, v:0.3.5) Tim Lewis: Autofocus indication
    Have the left/right slide ball go green when selected on, rather than just go solid grey
  • (2021-11-14, v:0.3.5) Serkan G: Focus earlier
    This is great. Thanks for saving me the time to write it :) It works great. The only caveat is that it runs on pageload which forces the user to wait until the entire page is loaded. This is probably not a problem with most sites but the waiting becomes cumbersome for very heavy sites... i.e. amazon.com If it focused on the searchfield as soon as the field itself loaded/rendered so the user can start typing right away without having to wait... i.e. google.com... as soon as your eyes see the searchbox, you can see the cursor focused and blinking.
  • (2021-07-17, v:0.3.5) Vignesh Kashyap: Ability to turn off tab to search on all websites at once
    Many a times while coding on online webpages such as Leetcode etc. I feel tab is used and hence having a global feature to turn off tab and only have alt+S would be great. Please do incorporate this option. Great App Thanks a lot for such great productivity helping extensions.
