Obviously the user is expected the results to appear on window B or else the user would have simply dragged the text to the search field on window A. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open two browser windows (call them A and B). 2. Select text on window A. 3. Drag text into window B's search field. Actual Results: Current tab on window A (from which the text was dragged) is replaced with search results. Expected Results: Search results appear on window B (either in new tab or active tab--I'd choose new tab but I could live with it either way.)
