Search function for browser tabs. So hard to find pandora in the haystack, and I need a short cut to search through all the interesting things.

In Firefox, type "% query" into the URL bar. That will search just open tab titles and URLs.

  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 pages you've typed.
  Add # to search for matches in page titles.
  Add @ to search for matches in web addresses (URLs).

Firefox already has this built-in to the tab groups view http://imgur.com/1060tx7
I would also like a search function for browsing history. Most browsers let me search titles but I want to search content as in "show me the page I read 3 days ago with the words 'foo bar baz'".
