Hello im trying to press on a search field in the note taking app notability. Since i cant use the press a button function i wanted to ask if there is a different method i cant accomplish it. This ist the ui element inspector for the element i want to focus on.

The textfield looks as following:
I want to ask if there is a way without apple script to focus on the textfield and what the apple script way would like. I have some problem figuring out the correct reference to an element. I would really appreciate if someone could helpt figuring out a working code from the ui inspector.
Thanks!
