Ctrl+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-bookmar...

I think I like the shorter Firefox version better but this is maybe easier to remember at first

I thought I was a power user....

Non 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.

Ctrl+Shift+A works in Edge too, they don't have the caret as a search dialog handle though. TIL. Includes recently closed tabs too.

By starting your search with "@tabs" You can change that behavior on in the settings

Interestingly, in Microsoft Edge, entering `%` does the same as typing `@tabs <tab>`. And `^` as `@history`.

I think he meant the custom website keyword search.

I did mean that, but it is possible to search for tabs, history, or bookmarks by starting your search with an @. E.g. `@tabs ycombinator`

This 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.

Ctrl+Shift+A
