eclipse - search only opens one file at a time

Question

In eclipse, when i do a global search (open search dialog), i can get a list of results.

However, when i open these results, eclipse will ever only open one file at a time. That is, given results:

A
B
C

i can double-click on A and will see that file. However, if i then double-click on B, file A will be closed, and replaced by B

I'd like to be able to read both files (or as many files as i care to double-click on)... how can i do this?

That should do it.

There ought to be a way for somebody else -- or the community -- to accept an answer, even when the asker has wandered off and forgotten about it. – Martin McCallion Jul 01 '14 at 10:27
The wording of this Eclipse preference is really unintuitive, imo - though it works. – Woodchuck Apr 07 '20 at 15:07
