  • Search tabs by name

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Martin_Mich=c3=a1lek?=@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 25 10:31:57 2021
    Hello,
    does anyone know of any way to search  tabs using only their names
    instead of their adress, currently when I search tabs using % keyword it
    would search them by adress, with just few exceptions using name, I am
    using version 78.8.0esr with pyllyukko's user.js(with few notifications).

    If I type a search term into the megssuperawesomebar (or whatever it's
    called this week) and then click the "tabs %" button, it seems to give
    results based on the URL of the tabs

    However if I click the "list all tabs" droplist at the end of the tabs
    bar, and then click the magnifying glass at the top, and type my search
    term in there, it seems to give results based on the title of the tabs

    Not sure if this is documented anywhere, or whether there's something
    other than % which gives the second type of result?

    Clicking the magnifying glass just sends me to adress bar with % already
    in it.

    What exactly do you want searches to match?

    parts of URL of tabs
    parts of title of tabs
    content of page of tabs
