Description: This fixes an issue where the keyboard loses focus while typing.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Enter a search query and hit enter/search.
2. While the page is loading, tap on the search bar again and begin typing.
3. Once the page finally loads, the search box will lose focus. With the patch applied, the search bar no longer loses focus.

• Ensure the PR solves the problem
• Review every line of code
• Ensure the PR does no harm by testing the changes thoroughly

PR DRI Checklist:

• Get advice or leverage existing code
• Agree on technical approach with reviewer (if the changes are nuanced)
• Ensure that there is a testing strategy (and documented non-automated tests)
• Ensure there is a documented monitoring strategy (if necessary)
• Consider systems implications (Database connections, Grafana stats, CPU)
