IE8 steals focus from search box.

[Majid]

Whenever I want to search something I open a new tab and start typing in the
search box whatever I want to search.

However opening the tab is quite slow (probably because it opens a different
process) and so more often than not, I am half way through the sentence or
keyword phrase I want to search on, when the about:Tabs tabpage is finally
loaded.

At that point the URL bar steals the focus, selects the about:tabs, because
it presumes I want to type in an URL. which means that half my sentence I
wanted to search for ends up in the URL bar instead of the search box.

Please don't steal my focus. If I want to set the focus somewhere else I'll
do it myself.

Remember: Presumption is the mother of all.....
