Dear Firefox implement tab to search already. Yes you can do ‘similar’ things with ! but it’s really not the same. So many Chrome users staying for this feature. Solve it already.
- freetonik 7y agoI forced myself to forget about this, but I agree, this feature is so easy, elegant and useful, I'm surprised none of the browsers (last time I checked) had implemented it except Chrome.
- Bakary 7y agoDoesn't Firefox show you relevant open tabs when you type in keywords in the address bar?
- butteroverflow 7y agoThey're probably talking about the other feature: choose/write the domain name in the search bar, press Tab, and if you have previously visited the site, and it implements the OpenSearch "standard", the search bar sends your input to the chosen site instead of the default search engine (Google or whatever).
- hrktb 7y agoI didn’t know what ‘tab to search’, for people like me this is the simple explaination I found: > For example, whether it's YouTube, Amazon, Wikipedia, or any other site with its own search function, all I have to do is start typing "yout," Chrome will automatically fill it out to youtube.com with an option to press Tab to automatically start searching youtube from the address bar. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1177556 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1177556 The workaround in firefox is described in the above page, and basically pre-saving sites as bookmarked search engines.
