Google Chrome is getting new, helpful shortcuts for searching your tabs, bookmarks, and history right from the \u2018omnibox.\u2019<\/p>\n

Enabling in Google Chrome version 108 for desktops, Chrome users can type \u2018@tabs,\u2019 \u2018@history,\u2019 or \u2018@bookmarks\u2019 into the omnibox, which is Google\u2019s name for the search bar at the top of Chrome. After typing in one of these shortcuts and pressing the spacebar or clicking the corresponding pill-shaped button with your mouse, you can then start typing a search query.<\/p>\n

The tab search shows results right below the omnibox that you can quickly access using the arrow keys or your mouse. History and bookmarks, on the other hand, open the respective page with the results of your query.<\/p>\n

These quick search options sound very handy, especially for anyone who keeps a ton of tabs open and needs help finding them again later.<\/p>\n

9to5Google\u00a0<\/em><\/a>first detailed these new \u2018@\u2019 shortcuts back in September, but they were hidden behind a Chrome flag. However, with the Chrome 108 update, they should be widely available for all, regardless of the flag.<\/p>\n

The features are part of Google\u2019s larger \u2018Chrome Actions\u2019 project, which has added several ways to quickly access various Chrome features and settings from the omnibox. Google started adding Chrome Actions back in version 103 of the browser<\/a> \u2014 so far, it includes things like \u2018Clear Browsing Data,\u2019 \u2018Open Incognito Tab\u2019 and \u2018Set Chrome as Default Browser.\u2019 Typing those into the omnibox should surface a shortcut to activate the respective action.<\/p>\n
