Cannot open multiple search results in new tabs #720

Description

@MSKalinin-bx

There is a usability issue with the search functionality in the documentation:

Type any text into the search bar.

A popup with search results appears.

When trying to open a result in a new tab (via right-click → "Open in new tab" or middle mouse click), the popup disappears immediately.

As a result, it's not possible to open multiple search results in new tabs — the user has to retype the search query each time.

Expected behavior:

The search popup should remain open when opening a result in a new tab, allowing users to open multiple links without having to retype the query.

Technical details:

Browser: Chrome Version 136.0.7103.114

OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81)

Possible solution:

Consider preventing the popup from closing when it loses focus specifically due to opening links in new tabs.
