In my application, I open programatically the charm search bar with this kind of code :

Windows.ApplicationModel.Search.SearchPane.GetForCurrentView().Show();

But I would like to open the soft keyboard so the use can directly search text without having to touch the text input.

I understood that I can not control the keyboard, so I have to set the focus to the search text block.

Did anyone have to solve this kind of issue ?

This isn't possible. Opening the soft keyboard MUST be triggered by a touch event. See here for an explanation.
