Here’s a useful tip where most of us missed out, you can actually set your searching preference via this small link on the right of the search box:

Apart from many preferences you can set like language, explicit content filtering and number of results returned, the most useful one I would assume for most people is the “Open search results in a new browser window”.

Now you don’t have to use a keyboard key combination with the mouse to launch a new window from the search results. Small feature but extremely helpful.
