- ghostpepper 3y agoHow does one search open tabs in Chrome?
- cubefox 3y agoI think he meant the custom website keyword search.
- wartijn_ 3y agoI did mean that, but it is possible to search for tabs, history, or bookmarks by starting your search with an @. E.g. `@tabs ycombinator`
- cpleppert 3y agoThis bookmarklet will work: (function () { let sel = window.getSelection(); let Qr; if (sel && sel.toString().length > 0) {Qr=sel.toString()} else {Qr=prompt('Search Site for','');} let hna=window.location.hostname; if(Qr) { location.href='http://www.google.com/search?&q=site:'+encodeURIComponent(hna)+'+'+escape(Qr) }})(); You can attach to a keyboard shortcut with a launcher or applescript.
- wartijn_ 3y agoBy starting your search with "@tabs" You can change that behavior in the settings
- myfonj 3y agoInterestingly, in Microsoft Edge, entering `%` does the same as typing `@tabs <tab>`. And `^` as `@history`.
- shscs911 3y agoCtrl+Shift+A
- WXLCKNO 3y agoCtrl+shift+a or click that little arrow at the top right of the window and you can search there. I also just saw this https://blog.google/products/chrome/search-your-tabs-bookmarks-and-history-in-the-chrome-address-bar/ https://blog.google/products/chrome/search-your-tabs-bookmar... I think I like the shorter Firefox version better but this is maybe easier to remember at first
- mucle6 3y agoI thought I was a power user....
- zo1 3y agoNon power users would use this more if the docs, marketing and promotion of it was prominent and talked about (or made to look "sexy" for lack of a better word). I think what we're seeing is that the "UX" folk have hijacked the conversation and made it so that it is the only expression of the capabilities an app has for user interaction. I'm sitting here, recalling all my chats and meetings and workshops with UX folk, and not once can I recall the topic of keyboard shortcuts or tab sequence being brought up. It was all about color, branding, spacing, user flow, "journeys", "experience", conversion funnels, and all things visual.
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoCtrl+Shift+A works in Edge too, they don't have the caret as a search dialog handle though. TIL. Includes recently closed tabs too.
- NikkiA 3y agoAs far as I know, you can do it in all major browsers (probably not safari though)
- sxg 3y agoYou can do it in Raycast along with a lot of other shortcuts outside of web browsers. I actually like it better through Raycast because it acts as a universal search, app launcher, calculator, 1Password interface, etc. that's always available and not dependent on a browser.
- pivo 3y agoThere's a plugin that does this for Safari: https://apps.apple.com/app/keyword-search/id1558453954 https://apps.apple.com/app/keyword-search/id1558453954
- jabroni_salad 3y agoyep, just hit up 'manage search engines' and add a shortcut. I use this to navigate to servicenow documents when someone IMs me their number, one of my most used workflow helpers. https://<your servicenow base url>/text_search_exact_match.do?sysparm_search=%s
