I often find myself opening several new tabs while browsing, and suddenly wanting to go back to a certain page I've seen.

To do this, I need to search for the tab which contains the page that I want to revisit in its history, which is a pain.

Another option is to look through the browser history, but you loose the navigation process; so if you would like to access the page that you visited after this one (that you opened in a new tab), you will have to go through the history again.

If you use a cmd + click workflow to open a new tab I built a chrome extension that tracks the parent/child tab: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/overtab/leceanmnoa...

It doesn't track actual tab history, I couldn't figure out what the best way to implement that functionality would be....

I agree this happens but their solution looks overkill to me.

What about an advanced search feature that would look not only in the current page but also in the pages you visited recently?

The URL bar could also be smarter and show autocompletions from site you visited recently higher, and display when you last visited them.
