Currently `geocoder.query()` brings the searchbox into focus. Is it possible to make a query without focusing the search?

Thanks,

Research direction

Start by tracing the geocoder.query() entry point and the code that focuses the searchbox. Check how programmatic queries differ from user-initiated searches. Done means a query can run without focusing the searchbox, while existing search behavior remains unchanged.
