Belgarath Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 When I do a search, it comes up with a bunch of results. So I click on one of those results, and read it. When I'm done, how do I get back to the search results? When I hit the "back" button it takes me all the way back to the Forum, and I have to re-enter the search parameter. I'm sure there is a simpler way! Thanks.
MoJo Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I don't click on a search result - I "right click" on it and select "open in another tab". Simple way to not lose your place....
401king Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 May be a browser issue. If I do a search, click a link, then go BACK it takes me back to the search results. FWIW I'm using Chrome. R. Alexander

Simple way to not lose your place.... I use ctrl-click and it just opens it up in a new tab. Don't have to fuss with a drop-down menu and hit 'open in new window' by mistake. Depending on your settings, it may just open a new tab and keep you where you are, or it may take you to the new tab. I'm using Firefox.

Mr Bagwell Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I have the same problem Belgarath. I'm using Internet explorer. I need to remember the open in new window trick.
Belgarath Posted May 22, 2018 Author Posted May 22, 2018 Thanks all. I'll experiment. Mr. Bagwell, we have Internet Explorer as well.
Belgarath Posted May 22, 2018 Author Posted May 22, 2018 And I'm happy to report that the "right click open in new window" approach works perfectly! Wish I hadn't waited so long to ask...thanks again!!
BG5150 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Use tabs. It's much friendlier and easier to keep track of what's open. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
Belgarath Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 Thanks, I'll try it out next time I do a search.

Simple way to not lose your place.... "Middle click" - i.e., push in the scroll wheel - is a shortcut for open in new tab. I agree this is the best way to browse multiple threads without losing your place in the search results. Free advice is worth what you paid for it.
