Search from the context menu with a new tab

If a user right clicks on highlighted text, the "Search"' and "Search with" option from the context menu should open a new tab, instead of searching within the active tab. Other browser like Chrome and Firefox use a new tab to search highlighted text. I hope Opera can offer a option for this problem.

Opera does what you tell it to do — Preferences, Tabs, and uncheck "Resuse current tab" if you want to open new tabs.

Or, hold down shift to open links and searches in a new tab, or hold down ctrl to open in the background.

Thank you! Such a quick fix for something that I didn't think was modifiable.
