So I think ALL of your users are plagued by tabs disappearing from the search. And low and behold - they're really there - they were hiding.

Here's why:

  • The Title String Length before the Search String is limited to 20 Characters.
  • The Searched-for String that is located starting at character 21 in the Title, is limited to +10 characters.

The first one severely impacts the reliability of 'natural searches' to WAY LESS than 50% of tabs with the search string. Which means:

  • You have to remember exactly a fairly unique string that lies entirely within 30 characters.
  • you cannot append keywords that start past 21 characters because they won't be found.
  • You MUST pre-pend keywords at the beginning of the tab title by renaming for that tab to be retrievable.

This is a savage limitation - and I have no idea why it could be necessary. So I'm assuming that maybe this buffer was set for testing and forgotten about? It's not 1992 8.3 characters anymore.

Best regards -
