Inconsistency between Ctrl click and middle click on Search button
The Search button at the top of the page opens a dialog box to enter a search term. There is also a separate Search page that opens in browsers that have JavaScript disabled. Browsers have shortcuts for opening a link in a separate background tab, for example: - Holding down <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> while left clicking on a link. - Middle clicking on a link (often equivalent to a three finger tap on a touchpad). <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> clicking on the Search button opens the search dialog, but middle clicking on the Search button opens the Search page in a background tab. Could these be made consistent? Which behaviour would you prefer both actions to result in?
