Askbot: search suggest dropdown should not close when clicking a topic
When searching for keywords, the autocomplete/search suggest usually yields better (less cluttered) results than the actual search result page (after submitting the search). Unfortunately, the dropdown list closes as soon as you left- or right-click a topic-link, so it is not possible to open multiple topics from it in new tabs.
Not closing it would let us Ctrl-click several links from the list conveniently, or use the context menu respectively.
Users who just "normally" click on an entry wouldn't care either, because they are immediately sent to another page anyway.

*) EDIT: As pointed out by @Markkyboy below, right-clicking keeps the dropdown open in some browsers (not in Firefox).
