We have a setting for this coming with Update 29.10 on PC! You'll be able to set the cursor to automatically focus on the text box On, Off, or everywhere but EOM.
based on the context of the post I think he meant cursor as in keyboard text cursor and not the mouse pointer. once you switch that setting off game shouldn't place any text cursor in the search box. But, hey who knows. maybe DE will have another big brain moment here.
The setting has the function to completely disable auto-focusing on the text entry field, which by extension would disable 'auto-typing.'
