When I perform a Google search and click on any of the links that show up, Safari will always open that very link in the same window. How to make Safari open each link I click in a new tab?
Go to Settings on the Google Search page in the upper right of the window and choose Search Settings (You must be logged in with a Google account I think). Then scroll down toward the bottom and check the box for "Results Window --> Open search results in a new browser window."
The Google setting says "Window" but if you have the tabs feature set right like the other person said, the search results will open in a new tab and not a new window. This is how I have my Safari set up.
