It is already possible to open search results in new tab by [Shift/Ctrl]-clicking the suggestions themselves (bug 17808), but the form itself is still broken.
We have to not intercept the Enter key and let form submission happen naturally.
[Splitting this from bug 35974.]

(Note: per bug 35974 comment 28 and earlier, Shift-submitting seems to only work on Opera and Chrome right now. This bug isn't about implementing similar functionality for other browsers.)

Rephrasing accordingly.
Actually, it was a bad idea to split this, so I'm marking as duplicate. May this bug be forgotten.
