How to Search Tabs in Chrome

Managing Chrome tabs is an art, but your masterpiece can become a mess if youâre caught juggling too many.
The ability to search Chrome tabs is a little-known, yet powerful way to make the most of your tabs while keeping your computerâs fan to a dull roar. Read on for our pro-tips on searching Chrome tabs:Â
Search Open Tabs in Chrome with âSearch tabsâ
Once you have so many Chrome tabs open that the page title is no longer visible, itâs time to start searching your tabs. When you use âSearch tabsâ and click on a result, Chrome will navigate you to your open tab. This helps reduce your total open tabs and keeps you from opening duplicates.
Step 1: Select âSearch tabsâ in the right corner of your browser.Â
Step 2: Enter the site name or page title.Â
Step 3: To switch to the tab, click on it.Â
Search Open Tabs with Chrome Omnibox
Searching open tabs with Omnibox works similarly to using âSearch tabs.â Once youâve found the page youâre looking for, click it. You will be taken to the tab where itâs already open. Â
Step 1: Click the Omnibox.
Step 2: Enter the name of a page or a related word.Â
Step 3: Select the result to switch to the tab.
Search Recently Closed Tabs
If you recently closed a Chrome tab, you can still search for it with âsearch tabs.â This will save you time, prevent you from abusing your browserâs back button, and eliminate the need of navigating through your Chrome history.Â
Step 1: Select "Search tabs" in the right corner of your browser, or use the keyboard shortcut â-â§-A (Mac) or Ctrl-â§-A (Windows, Chrome OS Linux)
Step 2: Enter the site name or page title, or scroll to the âRECENTLY CLOSEDâ section and click.Â
Step 3: Click the page to reopen your tab.Â
