It’s a day ending in “y”, and that means there’s a newGooglefeature to play with. Today’s one is a handy new feature for Chrome users: if you’re using the browser on a PC, Mac or Chromebook there’s a useful new shortcut that enables you to search key information – your bookmarks, your browsing history or your eleventy billion open tabs – from the Address Bar. The feature is in Chrome 106, which is now available.

And that’s it.

How to use the new search feature in Google Chrome

As 9to5googlereports, once you’ve enabled the feature it couldn’t be easier to use. Simply type @history, @tabs or @bookmarks and press space, and the Address Bar will automatically change to Search History, Search Tabs or Search Bookmarks.

I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts like this: when you’re using your device for work it’s often much faster to type a command or press a keyboard combination than to wade through menu options. The new feature might not seem like a big deal, but it could be a pretty big time saver.
