Description
When I command+click a search result, the result opens in a new tab. However, the search results "blur" / disappear (and search input resets).
I think that instead, the search results should continue being visible. My use case for command+clicking a result is to open multiple results in separate tabs so I can look at all of them.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the command-click behavior on a search result in the React documentation website, then trace the search-result click handling and state reset. Done means opening a result in a new tab leaves the existing results visible and preserves the search input for opening more results.
