--- Comment #17 from Tim Horton <thorton at apple.com> ---
1) I still can't repro on the reduction page (I understand how to tap-to-click, I promise :D)
2) But I can on https://warehouse-theme-metal.myshopify.com/
3) But it's broken both for click and tap-to-click, for me. Might be a click speed thing, though, because:

The *problem* is that you're hiding the search results on the `focusout` event, and depending on the timing relative to the click event (which as I mentioned in comment 1 is one of the big things that is "weird" about tap-to-click) to ensure that the link is still there to follow.

Disabling the `focusout` handler fixes your site (obviously you'd want a more gentle workaround). I'd recommend that for a short term fix.

Longer term we probably want to peek at how this works in other browsers; maybe the event order is different, or they stash the target aside, or something? Just speculation.
