Search
A unified search across open and closed tabs
Overview
The Search box allows you to filter all resources, such as open, recent, historical and saved tabs:
It is focused by default whenever the popup opens.
Filter tabs
As you type, items are filtered to the search term:
Control Space updates the UI to:
- Filter Open tabs
- Filter Recent, History and Saved tabs
- Show the most appropriate Resources panel
- Show Google Search and Top Sites
- Show total results for each area (window, panel, section)
Navigate to tabs
You can then target and switch to a tab of your choice, using:
- your mouse, or
- your keyboard, via Tab, Arrows and Enter
Filter algorithm
Filter by typing one or more word fragments separated by spaces:
- type one word to filter from the URL or title
- type multiple words to filter from the URL and title (in that order)
The space signifies an additional matcher, for example:
| Type | Matches |
|---|---|
| git | (git)hub.com or (Git)Hub |
| git cloud | (git)hub.com and /(cloud)flare or (Cloud)flare |
| gi cl | (gi)thub.com/(cl)oudflare) or (gi)thub.com and (Cl)oudflare |
| gc | - |
Note that a more sophisticated matcher may become available in the future.
