When I search something in edge a tab opens with all search results. When I click on a link it opens in the same tab. How do I get the links to always open in a new tab?

Microsoft Edge | Tabs, address bar, and search | Windows 11

    Hi,

    Is Bing set as your default search engine? If so, click the three-line menu in the top right corner of the page, then go to Settings > More. Under Results, make sure both options are checked, then click Save to apply the changes.

    • Open links from search results in a new tab or window
    • Open links from news results in a new tab or window
