Tab Index Focus on Search Box is Unnecessary/Troublesome

On a very small screen, like my iPod Touch, when I navigate to the home page of someone's catalog, your HTML setting of focuses my screen on the blinking cursor in the "Search this library" input field and opens my keyboard preventing me from seeing the entries in the catalog. It's really unnecessary to include this feature since if someone wants to search the library, they can put their cursor there themselves. It's well identified. I suggest you do not specify a tab index.

This is not a bug. You could submit it as a RSI. https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/559/Recommend-Site-Improvements

I've been annoyed by this on the Your Books page with my smart phone for a while. But I figure it will be fixed when they get around to updating that page to the new UI.
