Why does google open a new window when I click something?

[084]

Every time I search something on Google it opens up a brand new tab. Like if I were to search up a TV show and click on the wikipedia page for it instead of saying on that tab it would open a new one and I would have to x out of that tab to keep looking for answers instead of just being able to push the back button. I have google chrome but recently my computer somehow got MySearchDial on it and I don't know how but we did get it off but I don't know if that affects this or not. Anyways how can I make this issue go away?

You can change this behavior by clicking on the icon that looks like a gear on the upper right. This will open a menu. Click on Search Settings. Uncheck the setting to Open the selected result in a new window. Save the change.
