Hi guys!
I just got an idea, and I can’t figure out if it’s possible so I thought I would ask all you wizards of tech!
Is there any way to assign a button or keyboard shortcut to automatically focus on the search bar in whatever app has focus at the time of the button press (Given that the app in question has a search bar)?
Thanks
David
I assume you mean MacOS, but just to clarify; which platform / OS did you have in mind? 
In many web browsers, Cmd-K will take you there. Cmd-L will take you to the location bar, which these days often double as a search bar too.
Command+F is pretty universal. If an app doesn’t have it or uses something goofy, you can assign it yourself in System Preferences.
Do you mean the search bar under Help in any app - to be able to search through the menus of that app?
Oh, I missed the tag, yes i mean MacOS!
Generally, what cmd+ F does it to search the current view, for example, if I hit cmd+f in OmniFocus i can search in all text showing in my inbox at the moment, but not anywhere else in the system.
I mean the programs individual search bar, not the help one. I added some pictures from OmniFocus and Spark to show what i mean 
Maybe the best thing is to change the keyboard shortcuts in all my individual systems and remember to do it on all new applications!
Thought so
In your case - the current use case, anyway - I’d agree with @JohnAtl
I’d set the shortcut in System Settings if the app doesn’t use CMD+F by default
