Google is reportedly testing out a new feature for its browser that will make searching through your browsing history and bookmarks even easier in Chrome.
First spotted by Chrome Story, the search giant has added a new experimental flag to Chrome’s omnibox that enables support for search keywords.
For those unfamiliar, Chrome’s omnibox suggests potential queries when the “Autocomplete searches and URLs” feature is turned on in the browser’s settings. This makes searching for information faster and easier as users don’t have to type in an entire search query into the address bar to find exactly what they’re looking for.
The new experimental flag in question is called “Omnibox Site Search Starter Pack” and it enables @history, @bookmarks and @settings to be used as search tags when typing in Chrome’s address bar.
By using these tags when searching in Google’s browser, you’ll be able to specify that you only want to search in your history, bookmarks or in Chrome’s settings.
For instance, let’s say you were reading a news article about Chromebooks on your smartphone but had to stop and do something else. If you want to find it again later, you can simply type Chromebooks @history to quickly bring up the article and continue reading.
According to Chrome Story, this new feature hasn’t yet been enabled in the latest Chrome beta or Canary releases, so it might be a while before you get to try it out for yourself. Still though, search tags in Chrome’s omnibox will not only help users save time but it may even make them more productive.
