Search the web

Anything you type that isn’t an address is a search with your default search engine. The Launcher, the address bar, and the home page’s search field all work the same way.

You want to look up a recipe while you’re on another page.

Steps

1. Press ⌘L (Ctrl+L on Windows and Linux).
2. Type what you’re looking for.
3. Press Enter.

The results open in the tab you’re on.

Details

• To open the results in a new tab, press Shift+Enter. ⌘⇧Enter (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) opens them in a new window, and ⌥Enter (Alt+Enter) next to this tab in a Split.
• As you type, Search suggestions lists searches your engine suggests. Select one to search for it.
• To remove a past search from the list, select it, then press Shift+Backspace on macOS (Shift+Delete on Windows and Linux).
• On the home page, type in the search field. It lists the same rows as the Launcher.
• When what you type closely matches an open tab, the tab is the first row and the search comes right after it. Press the Down arrow to reach the search.
