    Microsoft hasn’t officially announced or rolled out the option to search tabs in its Edge browser, but the company appears to be working on it. Reddit user Leo Varela discovered that it’s possible to add “Search tabs” to the tab actions menu in Edge Canary. To make the feature appear, you have to enable it using a command line flag.

    The option to search tabs has been in the works for months but appears to be in its early stages of testing. Varela managed to enable it back in February 2021 through a command line flag. Note that a command line flag is different than using edge://flags.

    When you click on the option to search tabs, a menu pops up in the middle of the browser. The menu doesn’t expand from the tab actions menu or from the taskbar, though its placement will likely change to something more natural.

    Microsoft also tweaked the design of the tab search menu a bit. The new menu, shown above on the right, has a square hover effect on the button to close a tab. This lines up better with the rest of Edge Canary.
