Google Chrome for desktop has received a new update, allowing users to search history and bookmarks from the address bar.

Once the feature has been enabled, users can type @history, @tabs or @bookmarks in the address bar and then add a Space. The @-query will search history, bookmarks or tabs, by entering a term.

The results will appear below the Omnibox and can be navigated with a cursor or arrow keys. By pressing enter, history and bookmarks will load up the selected option to a full-screen page.

This new addition to Chrome lets users open key setting options from the Omnibox which is available for ChromeOS 106, which is currently in beta. According to 9to5Google, this feature can be enabled in macOS, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS using this link.
