However, I recently noticed that if you have your search terms selected (higlighted), they will stay put in the search box when you switch tabs, instead of being cleared. No more retyping searches!

I like to use tabs in Safari, but I often forget to open links into new tabs. This usually means retyping my search into the search bar again on a new tab.

Retain Safari search box terms on tab switch
Actually the text doesn't have to be highlighted, all you need is the cursor in the box...

In the Google search field, there is a magnifying glass with a down-arrow beside it.

Actually, the #1 best way to deal with this is to simply hit COMMAND-RETURN (instead of just return) after typing in your search. If you have tabbed browsing enabled and hit COMMAND-RETURN, Safari will automatically create a new tab for your search results. This COMMAND-RETURN trick also works for the location bar as well! This is the greatest feature that Apple has built into Safari!! Thank you, Apple! :)
Don't forget about cmd+shift+return
Using command+shift+return from the location bar or google field results in the page opening in the background under a new tab (assuming tab-browsing is enabled).

Nice one, thanks guys! Why I had never thought to try command/shift-enter is beyond me, but it works a treat!
I noticed that if you have "Select new tabs as they are created" UNchecked, the actions are reversed: Command+Enter pops the tab under, Command+Shift+Enter pops it in front. |
