With the ability to search for pages, items from the history, bookmarks, information from extensions, and much more, Chrome's address bar is already loaded with features. With new shortcuts, Google is now making it simpler to filter results. By typing the name in the address bar, you may already search your bookmarks, tabs, and history; however, the results are shown alongside those from the web and other sources. Chrome is now introducing search shortcuts to limit the results; for example, if you prefix your search with @bookmarks, only results from bookmarks will be displayed. The @history and @tabs commands both use the same mechanism to search the browser history and open tabs, respectively. Simply searching for tabs is also possible by using the arrow button in the top-right corner of any Chrome window. Google Chrome

The filters have been in development for a few months, and Google says they are finally rolling out to everyone. They could already be activated via a feature flag. If you'd rather not wait, simply go to chrome://flags/#organic-repeatable-queries in your browser (paste the link into the address bar), select "Enabled" from the highlighted dropdown menu, then restart Chrome when prompted. Additionally, Google began to distribute Chrome 108 last week, which has a number of new features, an energy-saving mode, and enhanced emoji and fonts. Chromebooks will get Chrome OS 108, which includes the trash folder, better Wi-Fi, and everything in the browser upgrade.
