Save Time, Open Search Results in a New Window

SUMMARY: This tweak forces MSN Search to open all search engine result links in a new window, possibly saving you time.
 
When you perform a search with MSN Search, your time may be spent doing the following:

1. You perform a search.

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

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

4. You look at a second result.

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

6. Repeat.

Instead of doing this, there is a way you can keep the MSN Search results on the screen while using a different browser window to view resulting web pages.

(Note this tip was written on 7/13/2005, and MSN Search's interface is subject to change. Also, cookies must be enabled in your web browser for the settings to stick.).

1. Click the "Settings" link.

2. When the "Settings" webpage appears, underneath "Results", check "Open links in a new browser window".

3. Click the "Save" button when you are satisfied with your changes.
