focus in a input field

After accepting the CPM I would like to have the cursor in the field that is in the center of this page: https://www.openthesaurus.de/?test=1 but unfortunately, every piece of code I try in the console doesn't work.

I've tried with 

document.getElementById("search-field").focus()
document.getElementById("search-field").click()

and some other options that I've seen in some answers here, but none of them really worked.

Can someone provide me some light in this darkness?

It actually is working. The problem is that your text focus is in the dev console.

To illustrate this, try the same thing but with a timeout. Paste and run this in your dev console, then quickly click into the page to give it focus. After a few seconds you'll see the input get focus. 

setTimeout(() => document.querySelector('#search-field').focus(), 5000);
