First couple uses and I can easily see this replacing my Firefox search widget on my home screen.

However, when I click the search widget on my home screen, The app launches, but doesn't put focus on the search bar so I have to manually click it again.

I would recommend having the app launch and the focus immediately going to the search bar within the app when a person clicks on the search widget on their home screen. That way they don't have to click it again and activate the keyboard to search.
