Common misconception I guess[0]: Chromes version is not the same. (Unless I am seriously wrong.)
Try to type
new com <part of title of something you read on hn today>
to test. On FF and PM this just works but on Chrome I still don't think it works.
[0]: which might explain why not everyone is using the better browser :-P
- ino 11y agoThat has always worked for me on Chrome. On the other hand, chrome lets me use the websites own search without setting up anything. For example: you [tab] searches on youtube. news [tab] searches hn. I've never set it up and works with almost every site I've performed a search on.
- mcintyre1994 11y agoDoes "new com webex" work for you in Chrome? It won't offer anything but a Google search for me. On Firefox it'll either offer to switch tab to here if it's still open or it'll find this in history. I agree Chrome's site search thing is awesome, but how did you teach it to use the new HN one? EDIT: Chrome settings -> manage search engines. Very impressed with the list of those it's stored automatically. Point stands that it doesn't seem to relearn though when one changes.

- efdee 11y agoThat works for me on Chrome. The misconception might be on your side ;-)
- joshuacc 11y agoJust tried it in Chrome and it has the exact same behavior as FireFox.
- borgbean 11y agoWhen I do this in chrome, it opens a new instance of the page. In Firefox, it switches to the tab you're searching for.
