Is there a way to open a search result in a new tab?

2 views (last 30 days)
As I am reading through the Get Started with Matlab documentation, I often come across a term or function that I want to explore a bit more. If I enter some string in the search box and press Enter, the search results replace what was in the tab I was reading. Is there a way that I can have the search results open up in a new tab so I can go back and forth?
I started entering "open search results in a new tab" into the search box. I got about halfway through and it completed the string for me, so I thought I would find a way, but, alas, the list that was provided had nothing to do with that, as far as I could see. I swear I had gotten multiple tabs before. I just can't get it to happen again.
Thanks

I mean in the Help. As I said, I am reading through the Get Started with Matlab documentation. In the upper left corner, there's a question mark in a blue circle. It doesn't look like a browser window. I think it's part of the MatLab Help. On the main screen, I get a list of the topics (Desktop Basics, Matrices and Arrays, etc.). If I click on one of those, it open in that tab. But if I Ctrl+Click, it opens in a new tab preserving where I was in the main tab.
But if I enter a string in the search box and Ctrl+Click one of the items listed, it opens in that same tab, not in a new one. So I lose where I was.
Is there a way to open a search item in a new tab?

Cynthia, why not open a new tab first and then search the term.
