Version 4 looks to have some great features!When I wrote about new windows, I initially just meant that when you press the "Search" button, the main results page should pop up in a new window. But now that I think about it, it wouldn't be a bad idea (if you're going to use checkboxes anyway), to allow an option to make any search result that is clicked also open up in a new window. This makes it so that you don't have to press the back button to get back to the search result list each time you view an entry.
Another question I had is: do you know why the current advanced search form doesn't seem to work with Internet Explorer's Autocomplete feature? If you're not familiar with it, the feature normally remembers what you typed in your forms and allows you to pull that up again without re-entry. But for some reason it doesn't work with AA's advanced search...
Follow Ups:
I don't know about Autocomplete unless it wants tab index ids. I can look into it when we work on the search engine. My plan is to link or display the advanced options as well as translate natural language to it so saying 'and' would translate to a +word. To open a new window, you have to embed the call in a link, so I either have to have a check box when you do the search to format the links right or have 2 links. The latter might be simpler so it would be like this:Link to some topic header [ Open in New Window ]
Except for the fact that this could get real long, it seems like it would work. If I use a contsant target, you'd just get 2 windows, I think.
