First of all, thank you for the good program.
I am using the default Windows Explorer on Windows 10 Home with "QTTabBar 2048 Beta2."
When I used Everything version 1.5.0.1383a (x64), double-clicking the "Path" in the search results would open the location in a new tab within QTTabBar.
However, in versions released after that, it opens a new Windows Explorer window instead, which is inconvenient.
Is there a way to fix this?

Please try disabling open_folder_and_select_items_thread:

Re: new tab within QTTabBar
As you suggested, I have submitted a bug report.
I tested using the latest version, Everything-1.5.0.1404a.x64 (Portable).
With the default settings, I only changed `open_folder_and_select_items_thread` to false before testing.
Thank you.

Re: new tab within QTTabBar
Oops... I had been checking the latest version using the link below:
https://www.voidtools.com/everything-1.5a/
After being told it wasn’t the latest version, I searched again and found the following link:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9787#download
I found Everything-1.5.0.1408a.x64 (Portable), and after testing it, I confirmed that it works properly regardless of the "open_folder_and_select_items_thread" option.
In conclusion, I apologize for the confusion, and thank you once again for your sincere and helpful response.
