Is anybody else getting this? Not so long ago I would navigate to Google and type in what I am searching for, press return and off it would go. Now I navigate to Google, type in what I am searching for then move the cursor to the search text box and type in what I am searching for then press return.

Don't think so. If I navigate to the Google homepage and just start typing and hit enter when the page has loaded then it searches for what I typed. No need for me to click on the search box or anything like that. Have I misunderstood your problem or are you having to click the text box for it to gain focus before you can search?

I have to click it for it to gain focus. It's really starting to irritate me.

Fine here.

Where are you typing for the first time? BTW, working fine here (FF).
The first time I am typing into the great big wasted word collection in the sky, probably.

If you are working on a horribly slow internet connection, just give it some time to load. Search box should get focus.
It's a fast connection, the page loads instantly but the search box doesn't get focus

Working fine for me... Of course, I'm using Chrome. If the Google homepage didn't work perfectly in Chrome, they would be the laughing stock of the tech industry.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Nope, TAB INDEX ZERO on the search box.

I haven't seen the Google homepage in years. I use Firefox Smart Keywords[^] Just type "g keywords" into the address bar and it goes straight to the results. [There's equivalent in IE and Chrome, called something like search shortcuts]

Wait a second, aren't they... Oh no, that's Facepalm... Sorry, no it's Twitter... Whoops, my bad, this week it's Microsoft... Err, nope, is it Adobe? Apple? Sun? (Right, Pretty Pony Tail boy already drove them into the ground!) Oracle? Wait, I've got it: SCO, right?

Maybe one of your toolbars is grabbing focus?

Google will often test new features, UI improvement(s)/ideas, etc... by temporarily making it available on the homepage, they track the analytics and it lets them know what people think, when they do this its never to everyone using Google, just a select group, region, sometimes country (they did a test just in Britian once as example) You might have got a test page and no one else saw it because its one of there tests.
