Or by Preferences->Browser->Tabbed Browsing
[x] Switch to new tabs opened from links

Not mine, but i have now set it.

Have done so.

That is what happens on my SM 2.13a1 and what i would expect...

...why should middle-clicking set a new position for searching? After
opening the new tab with the middle-click 'rancho' is still selected and
a new search should start there.
