title: Vaadin: open new window with ABSOLUTE url path from a BUTTON
body: <p>I have a table with addresses. I have a button you can click which I want to open a google search for the address in a separate window. I have tried this code with <a href="https://vaadin.com/api/7.6.4/com/vaadin/server/BrowserWindowOpener.html" rel="nofollow"><code>BrowserWindowOpener</code></a>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>getUI().getPage().open(url, "_blank")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>BrowserWindowOpener opener = new BrowserWindowOpener(url);
  opener.extend(googleBtn)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but both are appending my url to the current path. I want to simply run a search in google in a separate window. I'm sure this is much simpler than I'm making it. It sure should be, at least. Thanks.</p>
