Tab Search

Tab Search helps you find the right tab without tab chaos.

Instead of scanning dozens (or hundreds) of tabs, type a search term and Tab Search temporarily hides non-matching tabs so you can focus on what matters. When the search ends, your tabs are restored.

What you can do

• Search open tabs by URL, title, or page text (content search)
• Fuzzy matching: Typo-tolerant search with multi-word support (Powered by Fuse.js v7.3.0)
• User-configurable fuzzy matching threshold slider
• Use real-time filtering while typing, or manual search
• Find tabs currently playing audio
• Optionally select all matches when the search session ends
• See progress on the toolbar badge while tabs are being processed
• Theme-responsive documentation and help guides

Tree Style Tab support (optional)

• Works with Tree Style Tab
• Flattens matched tabs during search for faster scanning
• Restores your original tree state after search
• Optional auto-expand behavior for matched tabs in close-time multi-select workflows

Privacy and permissions (plain language)

• This extension uses Firefox tab APIs to hide/show tabs during search
• Hidden tabs are temporary and restored after search
• No external service is required for searching your tabs
• A Firefox permission prompt may appear the first time tab hiding is used

Important notes

• Content search works on loaded, regular web pages
• Content search requires at least 3 characters
• Supports both standard substring matching and typo-tolerant fuzzy matching
