Hey neowinians, I used to have an addon that opened the search engine bar in a new tab, not the existing page. Does anyone know what the addon is called?

No idea but why use an extension when you can Middle Click/CTRL+Click?
Because I type in what i want, and then hit the enter buton 
Maybe SearchLoad Options...
uh try "alt + enter"
Sorry, couldn't edit my previous post. I found another option: searchOnTab
But Gary7 is right, you can do this with Tab Mix Plus:
Make sure 'Search Bar' is checked here:
And if you want the tab to open in the background, make sure 'Search Bar' is unchecked here:

Nice, I didn't know that. I've been using CTRL+T, TAB, <search>, ENTER forever!
