Typing in the search field should automatically highlight first match

[huggla]

When typing in the search field the first match should automatically be highlighted so that the user can just press enter. Now you have to press arrow down+enter, or click mouse even if there is only one match. This is a very common feedback we get from users that use the search a lot.

Can this have conflicts with "searchlistOptions"?

It most likely will since they both gets triggered when hitting enter.

If someone wants to have this behavior in a fork, just change autoFirst: false to true in the function initAutocomplete in src/controls/search.js.

If the enter key could act differently when there is just the one match, it would be a really intuitive and useful feature. I see no point in opening the searchlist if there is only one match, except maybe to access some searchlist export buttons. Such export buttons could still be accessed from the featureInfo window if also configured as layerSpecificExports.
