Explain in more detail what you are looking to change on the search function? What does the new plugin supposed to do? Share some more details and I should be able to help you, if you share you website I would be able to assist even more but I can understand if you do not want to share it here in the open.

You need the add the autofocus feature on the input HTML element of the search bar. I found it from the browser but because you are using wordpress you need to find the HTML element and change it from there. Add a plugin called "String Locator" and search for the following HTML element

Code:

<input name="s" value="" class="aws-search-field" placeholder="Search" autocomplete="off" type="text">

when you find it and go to the file this line is located you need to change it to the following:

Code:

<input name="s" value="" class="aws-search-field" placeholder="Search" autocomplete="off" type="text" autofocus>

I hope this helps, if you are having issues you can create temporary login details and I can do it for you.
