Visit this page: [google.com...] Scroll to the bottom and check the box that says, Open search results in a new browser window. Then click "Save Preferences"

You can also do this via the Google Toolbar. I usually right click and open results in a new window, but I don't know how many other searchers do this.

I think they make same window the default because it would be the general users preferance. No one likes surfing along and having more windows open than needed.

Thanks for the quick and useful responses guys. Someone mentioned to me that the reason could be because of those 'popup eliminator' applications that many people install 'for free'. A visitor to my website once complained that he couldn't navigate one of the links which had me confused for a day until he eventually came back and said that he traced the problem to Kazaa. Could that be a possible factor in search engines being biased towards non-popups? Thanks Joe [Apologies to WindSun for the use of the word 'duped'.

I was not "duped" into installing it - it was a consious decision.
