I turend on the setting you suggested, but that alone didn't work. What i needed to as well, was turn on a setting in the google toolbar which said 'open results in new tab'. It means that all searches from the google toolbar also open in a new window, but thats not a major problem! Thanks for your Help! Hi Loren,

Thanks for your Help!

I don't know this for sure, but in doing a search on your question, it looks like it might be changing a setting in IE, Tools, Internet Options, General tab, Tabs, then Settings. One site suggested turning on the "Always open pop-ups in a new tab" option. Would be interested to hear if it works for you. Hope that it helps! Thanks for the comment, Anthony.

The problem is in IE, google searches use the same page/tab as the you are currently vieweing, so you loose it :( ! Firefox opens the results in a new tab - is there any way to get IE to do this as well - get the googel search results to open in a new tab? Cheers!
