> Searching within Multiple Tabs – Did you know that if you enter a ‘%’ in your Awesome Bar, you can search the tabs on your computer?

This will be a big help for me. Makes me wonder how many more there are that are just too cumbersome to discover.

You know the other modifiers for history (^), favourites (*), and tag search (+), page title (#), url($), and suggestions (?) too.

I use the first 3, they compound too (in a slightly strange way, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-fire..., see last few paras.).

After wondering why this doesn't work:

It's important that you type them AFTER the thing to search for, not before.

For example, `mytag +` instead of `+ mytag`.

I found that quite surprising.

I always forget them, so I have this bookmarked: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-fire...

TL;DR:

Add ^ to search for matches in your browsing history.

Add * to search for matches in your bookmarks.

Add + to search for matches in pages you've tagged.

Add % to search for matches in your currently open tabs.

Add # to search for matches in page titles.

Add $ to search for matches in web addresses (URLs).

Add ? to search for matches in suggestions.

What would be even better is if they let me add arbitrary keyboard shortcuts that don't need to wait until the document has loaded, like they did up to 2016.
