I am new to this forum, so if this has already been posted elsewhere, I appologize.

 

I have upgraded to IE7 in order to take advantage of its tab feature.  I also use the Google Toolbar, Version 4.  I would like to take advantage of IE7 tabs when I do a search, by having the search results show up in a new tab in the active copy of IE7.  However, I can only cause one of the two situations to occur:  the search result replaces the contents of the current tab or the search results start up another copy of IE7.  The second option obviously defeats the benefits of a tabbed browser.  The first option is just inconvenient and annoying.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the Firefox recommendation.  It is indeed a super browser.  Unfortunately, since Microsoft is a client of mine, it is "politically expedient" that I use IE.  Oh well.  Your suggestion to just open a new tab and then do the search is mildly awkward, but will solve the issue.

 

Thanks again
