1963889 - Surface matching tab groups in the Tab Search results (% )

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Stefan Smagula]

Summary: people who use many tabs are likely to be accustomed to using Tab Search (% ) in the Firefox search bar to locate tabs. They are also likely to adopt tab groups. Today, when you search using the Tab Search (% ) groups that match your query do not appear, only tabs do. People will most likely expect or appreciate being able to find a group that matches in Tab Search, without having to switch to regular Search.

Severity:
S3

Priority:
P2

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Firefox with Tab Groups and Scotch Bonnet enabled

Create a group named "Test Group" 

Navigate to Tab Search ( % )

Perform a query on the [test group] name

Actual Result:
See that the group name does not appear as a matching result in Tab Search

Expected Result:
The group name should appear as a matching result in Tab Search

Additional Information:

Software Version:  macOS Firefox Nightly 140.0a1 (2025-04-30) (aarch64)
