> Most people prefer opening search results in new tabs when given a choice.

"Most people..." statements are nearly always subjective. Numbers welcome.

Most browsers allow users to use Ctrl+click or middle-click to explicitly state
that they want to open something in a new tab.
I consider opening a new tab without asking me rather unfriendly
(paternalism?). 
If this was default, one would either have to find out where to change that
setting, or (as one can be rather lazy) one would have to close the old tab
manually every time when the search results pop up. 

While there certainly is an amount of users that prefer to get a new tab it is
unclear how big this group is, and how big the group is that doesn't prefer it. 

Hence proposing WONTFIX for the time being as there is no strong indicator
(yet) that this change would be useful for the majority.
