I literally have 1087 tabs open. Indispensable. Should be built into Chrome from the start. Lifesaver.

This is invaluable. Especially for those of us that constantly have dozens of tabs open. I couldn't live without it. I do wish there was a way to have it work with % like firefox but I'm pretty sure that's not possible on chrome.

This does work great. However, I only used this infrequently and could never remember the "tricky" (actually simple!) "UI", which doesn't exist except via shortcuts. You have to go to the address bar, type the word "tab" and then press the <Tab> key and *then finally* enter your search. I found one that has a 1-click or 1-hotkey UI entry. Simply click the magnifying glass or pres Ctrl/Cmd-I to enter "Tab Search". (I'm not affiliated in any way.)
