I see that the code I was using to suppress double notifications got 
fooled by a double-click in an inactive window.

I have fixed this and also introduced a `keepSearchResultsOnDoubleClick` 
defaults key that you can use if you want to disable the close behavior.

This will be available in next build (2.0-beta.12.15).

For someone using double-click to “select and dismiss list” this 
would probably feel inconsistent, but I think it would be appropriate to 
support click-through for the results list, that is, the first click in 
an inactive window will be handled by the results list (to select the 
clicked item) rather than just activate the window.

It requires subclassing to enable this, so I haven’t done it yet, but 
it sounds like this would be the ideal behavior for you and it should 
not affect the workflow of other users.
