Convert search results to links

When I'm digging into a new topic, for instance queues, what I really want is to do a search for "queue" and quickly scrub through each video lesson to find the most relevant one.

Right now, because search results are done with some kind of JS, you can't open them in a new tab (By cmd+clicking or using the middle mouse button). This makes it really cumbersome, because the process basically looks like this:

  1. Search for "queue"
  2. Click the most relevant looking result. This forces a page reload and I lose the search state.
  3. Cmd+click the laracasts logo to open the home page in a new tab
  4. Search for "Queue" again and pick the next most relevant looking result
  5. rinse and repeat through all of the results.

It would be so much easier if I could just cmd+click every relevant search result to begin with.

Another nice UX addition would be to save the last search query in local/session storage and auto-populate the searchbar with the last query.

Ahh, that's much better. Still think it would be a good improvement to navbar search though.
