Steps to reproduce
- Visit the https://wikipedia.org
- Focus the search field
- Start typing
- Control or middle click an interesting result
Expected results
- The autocomplete results are delightful, tempting, distracting, and demand to be opened in a new tab for consideration once I complete my primary search in the current window. This workflow requires that the results be persisted on control and middle click.
Actual results
- The autocomplete results are dismissed on modifier click and only reappear if I delete a character and reenter it or otherwise keep typing. This poor experience discourages exploration of tangential topics that autocomplete.
