Google Chrome now adds three site search shortcuts

Google Chrome has added shortcuts to its address bar that allow you to search your bookmarks and history.

We care. It’s important to us. Search marketers do lots of searching. There are many tabs open. This Google Chrome enhancement will hopefully make it easier to find the right tab, bookmark, or URL in your search history.

@bookmarks and @history: The way it works. Simply type @, then click one of three buttons (Search Bookmarks or Search History, Search Tabs).

Use @bookmarks to search for bookmarks. Type the bookmark name and you will see a dropdown containing suggestions from your bookmark folders.
Search your browsing history. Enter @history and then type your query. You will see a preview in the address bar of your browsing history.
Search for a tab by typing @tabs. Hit space and enter the tab title. You’ll then see suggested tabs in your address bar.

This is what it looks like. These are some screenshots showing the new Chrome search shortcuts for bookmarks, history and history.
