main page: put focus to search input field

Hello devs

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this. If not, please tell 
me where to go instead.

I noticed that one of the things I miss on openstreetmap.org is that 
after loading the page, I can't just type an address I'm looking for, 
but first need to click the search box (or press tab) in order to get 
the focus there. That might seem a minor issue, but being used to it 
(guess why...), it makes quite a difference in terms of user experience 
in my opinion.

I wanted to ask if there's a reason why the search field doesn't have 
focus after loading or if it's just that nobody did care about it yet. 
In the latter case I would propose to change that.
