What do you mean exactly? A certain text field? Any text field? Can you give a concrete example please? – slhck – 2012-12-02T11:47:27.080

I mean searching for a text input area. The one where you type stuff in. – Jane Darling – 2012-12-03T14:47:48.947

Any specific one? Or just the first one you can find? Please, as I've already asked, give us a concrete example and [edit] your question. – slhck – 2012-12-03T14:48:29.047

OK, see that search bar over there on the top right of the site. Imagine two, three of that hidden in a wall of text on a website.

The browser's Search box cannot be used to find HTML elements (such as <input type="text">). Instead you can use the Fox Input add-on for Firefox:

This extension provides a hotkey to focus on the input field on a webpage. The default hotkeys are Alt-I (go to the next text input field) and Alt-J (go to the previous one), but you can change them in the setting window.
