eclipse - search only opens one file at a time

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?

  1. Go to Preferences > General > Search
  2. Unselect the box marked "Reuse editors to show matches"
  3. Click Ok.

That should do it.
