Google is making it easier for its users to search for tabs, bookmarks and history in the address bar with new keyboard shortcuts. Google Chrome makes it easier to search for tabs, bookmarks, and history
Tab search is probably the most handy feature of all. Chrome already offers tab search, but you need to either click the bottom arrow icon.
to open the search bar or remember the Shift +Cmd (Ctrl) + A key combination. Mentioning @tab and quickly searching for an open tab from the address bar makes it easier.
If you’re trying to open a duplicate tab, the address bar will show that you already have that tab open, and you can go to it by clicking on the “Switch” to this tab option

Google Chrome makes it easier to search for tabs, bookmarks, and history
If you’re like me, you might have a long and complicated relationship with your browser. Over the years, we’ve built a lot of history together.
We’ve been through a lot of good and bad times. It also knows almost everything about me, like where I’ve been and who I’m talking to,
and it even knows all about my finances. So sometimes, when it comes time to look back and relive some moments, it’s hard.
But now, with some help from Google, it might become a little bit easier. The company has announced an upgrade to its address bar on Chrome for desktop,
allowing it to directly search for items in your bookmarks, history, and even tabs. Starting today, users will be able to use three new site shortcuts: @bookmarks, @history, and @tabs.
By typing any of these keywords directly into the address bar, you will be able to quickly search that section to find what you are looking for.
For example, you can type “@history cars,” and instantly, you’ll be able to pull up previous websites that you have visited with the keyword car.
The results will show in the address bar, making navigating through your history easy and seamless.
This will work when you’re trying to search for something in tabs and also your bookmarks. If you’re the type of person who opens tons of tabs at once during a search,
you can probably imagine how useful this feature will be. While this is a great new feature, unfortunately, those on mobile devices will not have access.
As mentioned prior, the new search feature is currently available only for desktop Chrome users, which means both PCs and Macs.
Some of this functionality already exists in Chrome. For example, when you want to visit a website you’ve already opened in another tab, Chrome will offer you a shortcut in the address bar suggestions to open that tab instead.
You can also just use the address bar to type in the title or keyword from a website you visited or bookmarked before, and it will show up in the suggestions.
To search through your open tabs, the chevron in the top right corner of Chrome or the cmd/ctrl + shift + a keyboard shortcut will do the trick.
The new shortcuts make it easier to narrow down a search straight away, though, and they all live in the place you’d expect them to: The address bar.
For searching bookmarks, you had to open the bookmark manager through the bookmark menu. The new @bookmark shortcut lets you search through across shortcuts.
Some of the new-generation browsers such as the Arc and SigmaOS encourage users to have as many tabs open in the background as they want to.
Users can then access these tabs quickly through a search bar or keyboard shortcuts. Chrome is offering similar accessibility to tabs, bookmarks, and history through these new shortcuts.
