Answer 1

short answer it might be a good idea to attach to the input control first :

    await page.type('#inp_srch_box', 'add');
    await page.type('#inp_srch_box',String.fromCharCode(13));

  cat test/test-login.spec.js

  const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
  async function main(){
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false});
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.setViewport({width: 1200, height: 720})
    await page.goto('https://qto.fi/qto/login', { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' }); 
  // wait until
  await page.type('#email', 'test.anonymous.user@gmail.com');
  //await page.type('#pass', 'secret');
  // click and wait for navigation


  await page.waitFor(1000);
  //await frame.waitFor(1000);
  await Promise.all([
     page.click('#butLogin'),
     page.waitForNavigation({ waitUntil: 'networkidle0' }),
  ]);

    await page.type('#inp_srch_box', 'add');
    await page.type('#inp_srch_box',String.fromCharCode(13));
  }

  main();
