Re: How do I search in the Forums and keep the results active so that I can press the Back button in my browser after viewing one of the answers?
Did you try pressing enter/return after inputting your search? That should take you to a search page for your query instead of just the live dynamic search that pops up when you click the magnifying glass icon. That page should play nice with the back button on your browser and return you back to your search results.

Yes - I did try pressing Enter.
If you aren't quick enough, all that happens is that it goes to the first answer.
But... if you press it before the results start returning, it does go to the search page.
Thanks!

Glad that got you what you needed. I find the dynamic pop in to be cumbersome myself. Sometimes it will interrupt my typing because I paused for a second and it thought I was done. Then it's busy finding search results for my partial query. Fortunately the content of the forums makes up for any minor gripes.

Actually, I found that it is if your cursor is over one of the results and you hit Enter, it goes to that result.
But there is still a problem with this method - if you are in a particular forum and you click on the link to restrict the results to that forum, the Enter button won't work any more. You have to click back into the text of the search to press enter. The results page then shows, but back to the entire forum again. You then have to use the Place filter to restrict the search again.
Anyway, I know how to do it now.
Thanks

When I'm in a situation like that I right-click on the link and choose "Open in new tab" from the drop-down (the exact wording may differ depending on which browser you're using). That way there's no problem with getting back to the first page since it's still right there.

I press middle mouse button on the links and that would make them open in new tab
