Save Time, Open Results in a New Window

SUMMARY: Save time researching Google search engine results by opening web pages in new browser windows.


 

When you perform a search with Google, your time may be spent doing the following:

1. You perform a search.

2. The results page appears. You try one link that looks good.

3. Once you are done visiting the link, you either use the Back button or re-access Google and re-perform the search.

4. You look at a second result.

5. Once you are done visiting the link, you either use the Back button or re-access Google and re-perform the search.

6. Repeat.

Instead of doing this, there is a way you can keep the Google search results on the screen while using a different browser window to view resulting web pages. Instead of clicking on a search results link, click on a link with the right-mouse button and choose "Open in New Window" (Macintosh users - hold the OPTION key down while clicking on a link and choose "Open in New Window"). Now, your search results will remain on screen while you research other pages, saving you time!

If your browser supports the feature, you can also open a link in a new Tab. This lets you keep the search results page in one tab and resulting links in another, only using one window onscreen.
