Hello!

When using a search engine (google, kagi, etc) the search opens up a new tab despite selecting the "Open in the same tab" option for links within the page.

I think search should honor this setting, or a separate setting should exist for it.

Using Heimdall as a new tab page, it will mean for every search, I will have a stale Heimdall tab open along with the tab for my search result. This is not ideal and leads to tab clutter.
