This is a recommendation from AuntySue, I think. She really deserves the credit, not us.

Bazza, if you use Firefox, Alt-Enter opens the result in a new tab. Can be set up in about:config too but then it will always open a new tab
AZERDocMom, as just written to the Praxis blog: I am using Firefox with the Aluminium Kai theme which does not have an arrow, I guess the creator decided it was superfluous to requirements. Just click on the Google icon in the search bar and the drop down list shown above should appear.

AZERDocMom, you're using Firefox, right, not Safari? I'm looking at the page on my MacBook right now and I see the arrow in FireFox. Could you send a screenshot?
Bazza, AFAIK there's no way to specify the result go into another tab. None of the other search plugins do that either, it seems, so I suspect it's a limitation either of the specification or the way that FireFox implements it.

Is there an option somewhere to get search results to open in a new tab rather than the current one?

That's great, JohnB, but I don't see an arrow next to "search"...perhaps because I use a Mac?

I found the arrow via Phil’s suggestion (thnx Phil!) and have added the plugin to FF search :)
