is there a way? When I type something in the search engine feature, is there a way that when I press enter to search, it comes up in a new tab, rather on the page I am using?

Yes, and I presume you mean both the search engine results, and the pages opened from the results.
Without making any changes you could always use Alt+Enter once you typed something into the search bar, or the location bar so that it would appear in a new tab. From the search results page you could always use "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click" to open link n a new tab

The configuration entries of interest:
- browser.search.openintab user set boolean true
- browser.tabs.openinnewtab user set boolean true

Google settings:
- [x] Open search results in a new browser window.
- By default Google opens links in its search results to the same new tab, but I believe that the configuration changes supplied also fix that because I no longer have to use the keyboard shortcuts to override.

- [x] Open new windows in a new tab instead
