Open search results in normal tab-group, NOT the one with the Search Results / Tool Output, etc.

It did this when I first installed. But since then - It always opens the results when I double click them in the same tab group.

Very annoying.

I want the search results & tool output to be considered a "system" tab group, not a general documents group...

Any love for fixing this? A work-around? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks to anyone who knows the fix!

You could dock them - would that solve it for you? Personally, I like them appearing as just another document window, though the HTML validator output still need to be in a Tool Output window rather than taking over the Search window.

I can't find a way to dock them as a system bar - just as another tab-group.

And that defeats the purpose.

double-clicking on a filename in the search results should open that in the documents tab-group, NOT the "tools" tab-group.

But if you ever close the search-results and tool-output tabs, the tool tab-group is forever gone.

This is what I want back: the tab-group that is ONLY for tool-output & search-results, NOT for normal docks...

Ticking "Dockable log windows" in Configure>Preferences>View docks the Search and Tool results windows at the bottom of the window separate from the documents.
However, calling HTML Validator (Ctrl+0) still puts the results in the Search window instead of the Tool results window, which is a big problem, as it means e.g. a that Find in files on a large website, which can take quite some time has to then be repeated.

Oh! Thank You!

My work is with local files - and the tool window is irrelevant (mostly). But that switch is exactly what I needed. Thanks!!!
