Very nice!

 

I just updated @Acidham's similar browser history workflow. @epilande had you seen that one?

 

I like that you included Safari since @deanishe's Safari Assistant is no longer maintained.

I haven't seen that browser history workflow but looks awesome. Thanks for sharing

[altryne]

Thank you! This is a great replacement for the unmaintaned safari tabs one I had for ages! 

I'd love to know if it's possible to grab the favicons as well? That would make this amazing, but even without it's amazing

[MrChrisso]

As someone who keeps way too many tabs open, this is so useful, thanks.

Thanks for this useful workflow. Please include website icon if that is possible. It is easier to quickly pick out targeted website by website icon like how Safari shows icon and description of each tab compared to reading wordy description of each tab displayed by workflow. Thanks.

It’s not feasible without an unreasonable amount of work or making the Workflow considerably slower.

With brave when tab search is used and the tab is on a space that is currently not selected it will not bring you to that space.

That's a Brave bug, tbh. It's the application's job to manage its own windows and make sure the right one is visible. It's also not something a workflow can easily work around.

This is a wonderful workflow, can't work without it now.
Just one question: (I am on Mac OS Big Sur) Does anyone know why does it open let's say a minimized tab you're searching for AND a minimized window next to it. I always get two windows open after I search: the one I need and the one what seems next to it.

I've installed the workflow and can get to Safari tabs via a set hotkey or typing safari tabs {query}.

 

From the animated gif screenshot, it looks I can simply start typing the name of one of my open Safari (and Chrome) tabs but when I do that, don't get any matching results.

 

Any idea?

You need to give us some information to work with. What does the debugger say?
