Issues with Hayoo Web Site

Hi all,
Conkeror seems to be having issues with  http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html.

Hayoo is a website that searches for haskell functions and their documentation. It searches as you type.  So for example, there are functions called "map" and "mapWith". If I search "mapWith" , "map" comes up first. and then as you enter 'W' 'i' 't' 'h', the right function is found.

In Firefox focus stays with the search text box allowing you to type in 'W' 'i' 't' 'h'. However with  Conkeror,
1. focus leaves the search box and all further characters are sent to Conkeror. The 't' for example invokes the 'Follow in top frame' ...
2. clicking on the search box to bring it back into focus does not work. I have to click outside the box and back in again.

Any ideas?
Thanks ...

Hi deech,

  I have not yet isolated the specific reason for the behavior, but it
doesn't surprise me, as keyboard handling is very tricky business when
web pages have their own keyboard UI competing with the browser.  As a
workaround, you can use quoted-input-mode, invoked by C-M-q.
