You can now perform one of the following actions:
To display the search result in the Search view, click a search result and click
Open. The result is displayed in the existing Search view.
To display the search result in a new Search view, click a search result and click
Open in New. The result is displayed in a new Search view. Using
drag-and-drop you can move the search views so you can see both views, and compare the contents.
Note: If you want to have more than two search views open at any one time you must use the

pin the open search views. Pinning the search view means that subsequent searches will show their
results in another search view, and that the pinned view remains unchanged.
