Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity. We have reviewed the issue carefully, the team is unable to prioritize fixing this bug. There are a number of reasons we make this decision, and in this case, we found that this is a long-standing behaviour that also exists in the legacy hierarchy. Because this behaviour has been established for a long time and currently causes minimal user friction, we have decided not to change it. Today we will be closing this case. Thank you again for taking the time to report this issue, and please let us know if there is anything else that changes the impact or severity of this issue.

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new Unity project
2. Near the Hierarchy Search, click the "Open query in Search Window" button twice
3. Observe the results

Expected results: Only one Search window opens
Actual results: Two Search windows open

Reproducible with: 6000.0.71f1, 6000.3.11f1, 6000.4.0b12, 6000.5.0a9, 6000.6.0a1

Reproducible on: macOS Tahoe 26 (M1)
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

Note: When opening the Search with some delay, it reopens the Search instead opening a second window
