In this post, I will show you how to search text across multiple webpages in opened tabs. Tab Search is a free Chrome extension that you can use to do it. Here, this is a simple Chrome extension that helps you search the content of your tabs. And it works in Microsoft Edge and Opera like browsers as well. If you want to search content of multiple tabs at once, then this is the extension you need.
We have covered some tab managers before. Even the tab search tools for Chrome and Microsoft Edge. But those tools are only limited to the titles of the opened browser tabs only. If you want to search for some text in the webpage content itself, then you need a different tool. And one such tool is Tab Search extension. And you can use it, as I will mention later in the following section.
How to Search Text Across Multiple Webpages in Opened Tabs with this Extension
So, the very first thing you have to do is install this extension using this Chrome web store link. After it appears in the toolbar, you can start using it right away. It looks like as shown below.
Now, open some tabs, and then you need to simply activate the extension by clicking on its icon. A search box will appear, in which you need to enter a search term. And then it will instantly show you the matching webpages in the tabs. The search results are a list, and it even shows a little preview of the lines where the searched word occurs.
Once you click on a search result, it will quickly jump to that tab for you. It doesn’t matter how many tabs are opened there. You will be able to search for webpages for specific word or text using this simple tool.
In this way, you can use this simple and useful Chrome extension to search across multiple webpages that are opened in the multiple tabs. The process is very simple and here I have used it on Chrome, but you can use it in the exact way in other Chromium based browsers such as Edge, Opera, Brave, etc.
Closing thoughts:
If you are looking for a free tool to search for text or some word across all opened tabs, then you are at the right place. The Chrome extension I have mentioned here will help you. Just install it and then start searching across multiple tabs at once.
