Yahoo Search - Save Time, Open Search Results in a New Window

SUMMARY: Stop jumping back and forth between the Yahoo! Search results page and matching websites; open links in new windows.

When you perform a search with Yahoo! 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 Yahoo! 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 Yahoo! Search and re-perform the search.

6. Repeat.

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

(Note this tip was written on 7/19/2005, and Yahoo! Search's interface is subject to change. Also, cookies must be enabled in your web browser for the settings to stick.).

1. Perform any search.

2. Above the search results there should be a "Preferences" link. Click it.

3. Check "Open search results in a new window when I click on them".

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