User reviews
Users appreciate 'Search all Tabs' for quickly finding specific tabs among many, its privacy focus, and better performance compared to similar add-ons. However, multiple reviews mention slow search loading, lack of keyboard shortcuts, and display of search results limited to page titles only. The absence of a background daemon for indexing impacts speed and responsiveness.
Pros
- Helps locate specific tabs quickly when many tabs are open, reducing time spent searching.
- Privacy-focused, as it does not send or persist indexed data.
- Better and more effective compared to similar tab search add-ons.
- Provides an instant list showing context for open tabs and ability to jump to highlighted text.
Cons
- Search is sometimes slow to load and not instant.
- No keyboard shortcut to quickly summon the search interface.
- Search results only display page titles without content snippets, limiting usefulness.
- Lacks a background indexing daemon, making the search less snappy and causing repeated CPU usage.
Recent reviews
I respect your decision to not have a background daemon running for indexing, BUT it's really getting in my way. It's not instant. It's not snappy enough. I wish you added an opt-in configuration that runs a daemon so that it won't have to constantly index everything and waste CPU time. The reason anybody would want to search tabs is for instant access to the information, and it fails at that, at least on my hardware.
