Type something to search on in the Search entry and click Go.  A new window
(not a tab) opens up with the Search Results.  Click on a link.

In IE, the link appears in the window where the search request was entered.
(I have found this to be somewhat quirky behavior, since I usually have to
maximize the results window to see anything of value and, when you click on
a link, it just appears to sit there, but actually, you have to alt-tab back
to the original window.)

In both Mozilla and Firefox, the original window does not change.
