TL;DR Press / and type what you remember, in your own words: saved today, saved this week, most visited. Speed Dial 2 understands you and finds it instantly.
You don't need to remember a bookmark's name or which group you put it in. Type what you do remember, such as when you saved it or how often you use it, and Speed Dial 2 finds it:
That's it. No special syntax, no menus. Press / on your new tab page, type a phrase like one of these, and the results appear as you type.
Plain words work as well. Search looks through all of your groups at once, at:
The best matches come first, and your most visited bookmarks win ties. Each result shows the website, how many times you've visited it, when you saved it, and which group it belongs to.
Pro Tip: Press Enter right after typing to open the top result. Type gma, press Enter, and you're in Gmail without touching the mouse.
The search box sits in the top-right corner of your new tab page. You can open it in three ways:
Not sure what to type? Open search with an empty box and you'll see example searches you can click.
Note: The search box appears once you have at least one group besides Home. Don't see it? Create a group and it will show up.
Power users can be even more precise: type a filter followed by a value. You can combine as many as you like with regular words, for example docs group:work year:2025.
| Filter | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
group: |
Only bookmarks in that group | group:design |
site: |
Only bookmarks from that website | site:google.com |
year: |
Saved in a year, month or range | year:2024, year:>2022 |
before: / after: |
Saved before or since a date | after:2025-06 |
visits: |
Filter by number of visits | visits:>100, visits:0 |
is: |
Popular, visited or never visited | is:unvisited |
sort: |
Change the order of results | sort:name, sort:newest |
"…" |
Match an exact phrase | "google docs" |
-word |
Leave out anything containing that word | docs -google |
You don't have to remember these. Start typing a filter name and search suggests it for you:
Above the results you'll find two controls:
Speed Dial 2 remembers your choices for next time.
Pro Tip: Click the group label on any result to clear the search and open that group.
| / or Ctrl+F | Open search (⌘+F on Mac) |
| ↑ ↓ | Move through suggestions |
| Enter | Use the highlighted suggestion, or open the top result |
| Tab | Move from the search box into the results |
| Arrow keys | Move between results |
| Ctrl+Enter | Open the selected result in a new tab (⌘+Enter on Mac) |
| Esc | Clear the search, then leave the search box |
The same search is also available everywhere you browse, not just on the new tab page. Jump opens with one keyboard shortcut on any website and lets you find bookmarks, switch tabs and save the page you're on.
