Hi,
is there any way to set the focus on the search field, so that if I open the Wikistartpage, I can write in the search field without use the mouse first such is it solved by google.
Although MediaWiki includes a search tool, it is a *wiki*, not a search engine. Setting focus to the search field would:
* destroy keyboard navigation * destroy the ability to use fragment links to jump to sections * generally be very annoying 99% of the time
If for some reason you insist on doing this, you can just slip in some JavaScript. There are numerous JavaScript references on the web.
