Force Safari to open new window/tab?

[MotionMan]

When I surf and find something I want to Google on a page, I would like to be able to use the right-click|Search in Google option to open a new tab or window rather than just go to a new page.

Is there a way to force that behavior?

Check the plist file. I know I always go in there to change settings to force new windows into tabs, so maybe there is something for you too.

Wrong section

MotionMan, in the preferences for Safari (hit CMD+,) under the General Tab, at the bottom you will see 'Open links from applications' and 2 radio buttons. Click the bottom one.

That is how I have it set. For some reason that does not seem to apply to the right-click|Search in Google option (on my two different Macs, BTW).

That's weird, I just tried that and it worked just fine. Though, it may be from one of my other plugins.

It has never acted the way I wanted, even before any customization.

Glims is a pretty nice add-on for Safari that I think will add in what you are looking for.
