Assuming you're talking about the search box on a srchhelp_ page and not
the search widgit on results/record screens, you can place the following in
the opening body tag:
onLoad="document.forms[0].SEARCH.focus(); document.forms[0].SEARCH.select();"
Your tag might look something like this:
<body onLoad="document.forms[0].SEARCH.focus();
document.forms[0].SEARCH.select();">
(I think this appears in the system default srchhelp_ pages.)
