Opening the results page in the same browser is very inconvenient when users want do a quick internal search to verify data while creating or editing a document. I'd like to be able to open the search results
a) in lightbox type window
b) in a new tab
c) in a new window.
Would it be possible to add this fuctionality to this otherwise very useful module?

- In a new window: possible, easily
- In a lightbox : should be possible in conjunction with the thickbox module, needs some work…
- In a new tab : impossible (correct me if you find something about that, but I haven't found myself)

I managed to do that in a lightbox. No big deal, but it is a bit clumsy 'cause the lightbox shows the whole page

Just commited a new DEV version, with the ability to submit the results to a new window.
Tried in a thickbox, but haven't managed to have the results, because no data are passed to the window, and internal drupal validations aren't processed this way…
