"Web search" context menu action without opening n

Hi,

I really like being able to highlight some text and search for it using the context menu (this works very well in opera where I switched from). The current behavior of this feature in phoenix 0.5 is not suited to my tastes because it opens a new window for the results.

Is there a way I can make it show the results in the same window, or at least a new tab?

I will be willing to try and hack this myself if someone can point me to the right files to edit.

Thanks.
SF

Get the Tabbed Browsing Extension, which has a "single window mode" option. This will prevent new Phoenix windows from spawning. Many other crucial tweaks in there as well.

That option disables the creation of new windows completely and is not at all what I want.

Right, that option is not what you want.

You want the TBE option that says open UNREQUESTED windows in tabs.

That won't work, because it isn't an unrequested window.

try emailing the author of TBE and asking for this functionality.

No need for this, it's already there. :wink:

In the TBE preferences select "Open tabs instead of windows for > new windows opened by JavaScript". This opens the web search in a new tab.
