Edit: I have converted this post into separate feature request: [Allow Multiple search panes at the same time](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/allow-multiple-search-panes-at-the-same-time/10800)

Thinking in scope of [Andy mode](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/sliding-panes-andy-matushcak-mode-plugin/7652):  
When quick switcher is open, then pressing shortcut for “Toggle pin” (Ctrl+Shift+p) should open search results in new pinned pane and set focus to ( = activate) that pane, allowing to browse search results like normal page, with search dialog in the header like in [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) search engine.

Synergetically, repeated press (Ctrl+Shift+p+p) in quick switcher immediately unpins the just created pane so the note we click on in search results, opens in the same pane, replacing search results, having the same effect as selecting it directly in quick switcher.  
This expects that it is possible to have more searches open at the same time, which is currently possible e.g. in EmEditor as “Find in files” or in [google.com](http://google.com). (Although there the search results do not update for changes made after search execution.)
