Thanks

<cfoutput><body onload="document.forms.#varFormFocus#.focus();"></cfoutput>
where varFormFocus has been set to your form field name (case sensitive, must
exactly match Form).
For field types that can handle it (i.e. straight, not lists) substitute
..select() for highligthed overtyping.

This has nothing to do with cfm pages, it's a general HTML form question.
You set focus via Javascript. document.formname.fieldname.focus();

So if my search form is search.cfm, would it be:
document.search.searchstring.focus();
??

It would be the value of the NAME parameter of your FORM or CFFORM tag in your
template, and the name given the INPUT tag.
Something like
body onload="document.form_name.input_name.focus()">
<cfform name="form_name" action="whatever.cfm" method="POST" target="_top">
<input type="text" name="input_name" required="yes" message="whatever">
