Description: AUR and Packages websites should autofocus on
the searchbox.
On both the Packages and AUR website pages - the searchbox should autofocus so the user can start typing on page load without having to move their mouse to the box (as it is common one Google, Yahoo, Bing, and may other sites whose landing page's purpose is to search) and click to focus. Notice the current behavior: https://aur.archlinux.org/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/ This can easily be accomplished by adding the autofocus attribute to the search <input name='keywords' autofocus/> to the end of the element's tag in the HTML.

This task depends upon
I could live with autofocus on empty search pages, or AUR frontpage.
But for example using keys to scroll is annoying as hell on pages with autofocus (at least for me)
Disadvantages are greater than advantages, definitively.
Let's close the bug report.
